True, but I think you can then do sgml-fold-subelement (C-c C-f C-s) to fold up all the child elements. > i want it so that, if i unfold or expand, say, a chapter, > i get only the elements immediately at the next level. i can > then, of course, choose one of those to expand and so on. > > is there anything that will let me do this? not surprisingly, > something free and open source would be nice but, heck, if i can > find an editor to do what i want, i'm not averse to paying for > it. within reason, of course. Vim 6.1 does folding for XML. See ':help folding' or just open up an XML file with it and try typing 'zr' and 'zm' a few times to see how it works. I don't think Vim's XML folding is as XML-aware as that in Emacs, but still it seems to work pretty well. HTH, --Mike
