OK. I assume there is no option to configure this?

Is this a property which is available in the geany configuration files?
Or do you mean a function call?

Hard to believe that this feature is implemented in the lexer. Most
languages have single line comments, so it should be easy implements
foldings marks for all languages. But this is only a thought.

Nevertheless, thanks for your answer.
