You might want to look at outline-mode in Gnu Emacs.  Folded lines are marked
by ^M (CR) where ordinary lines are marked with ^J (NL).  Setting the elisp
variable selective-display to t turns this feature on.  The outline mode which
uses this supports an outline-regexp variable that allows you to specify the
format of header vs. body lines.  This allows you to customize the outlines for
the particular structure you are using.
