Thanks for the valuable links... I have been going through them in my
spare time... Unfortunately, I am beginning to think that its quite
non-trivial to do something like this what we want in xslt... Maybe
after more reading, that will change...

I am beginning to get more and more inclinded to go the python path and
write our own little xml2vim converter... What do you think?

This weekend, I was looking at the xml.dom.minidom documentation in
python and the helpful example there.

I could modify it without too much effort and came up with the attached
.py file... Run it as
$ python options.py

Note that althout it has 113 lines, the code which I actually wrote was
about 17 lines. The rest I got from a google search for "paragraph
indentation python".

Obviously, this was just done on a whim. Do you think this is a good way
to proceed? Or should I (or Benji) be better off learning xslt?

Thanks,

Srinath

The mappings in latex-suite are by default prefixed with the back-tick
character. For example, `/ inserts \frac{&lt;++&gt;}{&lt;++&gt;}&lt;++&gt; etc.
You can change the
prefix with the following setting.
',', '/', '`' are preferred values. '' or '\' will lead to a _lot_ of
trouble.

g:Tex_Leader is also used for visual mode mappings for fonts.
