The recursive-narrow package

The recursive-narrow package is an enhancement of the native Emacs narrowing functionality, which allows users to focus on a specific part of a document or buffer, hiding the rest.

What does it do? It extends the built-in narrowing capabilities by allowing for recursive narrowing. This means you can narrow down to a specific part of a document, and then within that narrowed view, you can narrow down further to an even more specific part. This recursive approach enables a more focused and granular level of working with documents or code.

Why would you want it? `recursive-narrow' helps reduce clutter and distractions, making it easier to read or edit specific parts of your files.
