vim xml folding/unfolding siblings of current element

[russur...@verizon.net]

I have the folding set for vim when i edit xml files. It's all folded into one fold. That's fine. I like to be able to get a view of the elements that make up the current element. Can i unfold only those siblings contained in the current element, and vice versa?

thanks,

Russ

I'm not clear on exactly what you want, but I think one of the
following will work:

1.
zM
move/zo until you have the view you want (or maybe just hit zv)

2.
zM
move/zo until you find the parent element (or hit zv, go to parent,
and close it with zc)
zO to open the parent element and all descendants

Thanks for your reply.

I kind of had a DOH moment there and figured out what i needed.

Seems that, when i load the xml.vim file, and have the fold method set to syntax, that is what i need.

I had been doing a zA, to open everything, turns out that instead of doing that, if i had did zo, that does EXACTLY what i need!

Thanks for your help and time. Sorry i was so stupid!
