Is there a text editor for html files that actually breaks down the content of the file into openable columns?

Question

I am wondering if there is a file editor for Ubuntu that can open and close the different parts of the html file as in the screenshot below:

enter image description here

"menu a" here has a little icon that I can click and the whole thing would be folded in and that way I can see the different parts of the file better. Or can gedit do this?

You need a plugin for Gedit for this to work and you can find one here. But I used that 2 years ago for the last time and we did switch to Gedit 3 after this plugin was introduced. Might not work(...). No answer here: Code folding plug-in for gedit 3.2.1? so it is not widely used or not working.

I myself have made the switch over to Aptana. It has folding for CSS and HTML and alot more. Any other coding style based editor will have folding incorporated. Some I used and know about: Eclipse and Kate (Kate is K so does not integrate as well).
