I just completed yesterday a 450 page manual using DocBook with emacs and the psgml package. I made extensive use of the fold element/unfold element features. This is with the latest emacs/psgml combination either. As I started with an older one I didn't want to disturb things during the project. Syntax colouring might have been useful but I didn't have time to experiment with sensible combinations; could only bill for the editing work. I have to say that I would rather use ed for editing DocBook files than switch to Windows. But then what do I know; I only contributed to an ISO Technical Report on "Text Entry Systems for SGML". As for pointers to emacs---that'll be readily avaiable for your Linux distribution. I found (the ancient) psgml on my RedHat 6.2 install CD. If you're not too far down the road then a visit to the psgml pages at sourceforge shoud help you out (http://psgml.sourceforge.net/).
