I've read that the US is the only country to direct that its flag be folded into a triangle. Most other flag codes and military regulations I've seen say something like fold ' in a suitable manner ' or 'neatly'.
Any idea if this is true?

I don't know if the U.S. is the ONLY country to direct that its Flag be folded into a triangle.

I don't EVEN know if the U.S. actually directs that its Flag be folded into a triangle.

I just don't know, is it in the "Flag Code" ???

A search of google images yields the following methods for folding the flags of Canada, Venezeula, and Australia:

Apparently Portugal also has a procuedure in place to try to get the central device (seal/coat of arms type thing) to be the only thing visible when the flag is folded.

Looks like it may be similar to the "How to fold the Canadian Flag" link above. Sounds like I may have fun with origami tonight. I have the maple leaf in my collection, might try to follow those directions and see how it works out.
