Do the subdocs have an extension that vim might see as being xml? Mosr
importantly, is it a well formed XML document, with a root element (i.e.
does each chapter subdoc start with <chapter> and end with </chapter> )?

I did see some difficulty with the vim color coding when I was using
that as my primary editor for xml/xslt (multi-line comments were not
always handled well), which is why I switched to emacs *grin*

If you like vim, hang with it. I've learned to use and enjoy emacs (OK,
I *LOVE* emacs now), since it handles some of the specialty modes I need
for my programming a little better.

Of course, this is all IMHO. YMMV *grin*
