BTW, especially if you use Vim (not plain vi) you might want to check out some of it's features which might represent interesting alternative solutions while not requiring an additional transformation step. You can map short commands to long markup constructs which you use often, then there are abbreviations, ctrl-x ctrl-p, etc etc. And you also can turn Vim into a useful XML editor, see http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/ Tobi [1] Instead I'd have problems with interpreting cryptic non-standardized abbreviations, so I prefer elements names which are close to human language words. -- http://www.pinkjuice.com/
