I've tried psgml before but never managed to force myself to get used to Emacs brain-deadness ;-). Instead, I use Vim for XML. There are some modes you can download for it which give you a lot of basic features (including all of the above), or it's fairly easy to add your own support for auto-closing tags and tag folding (which is about all I want in terms of XML-specific support). I've also seen a fair number of people doing XML in Kate, if you want something GUI and gvim's not your thing.... later, chris
