Thanks for sorting out the code and I'm glad that you like it ;-)

I have moved the processing of the 'title' command before other
standard commands/environments, otherwise it might be obsoleted
by the 'titlepage' environment. The patch file is attached.

This item might not be appropriate for all users because
the \title and \maketitle commands are not always together,
e.g., some people like to put the \title, \author, etc.,
commands in the preamble. So we might need to delete it from the
default list.

It's little work compared to what you have done ;-) But please do
write the documentation since I have never worked with the xml
stuffs, and my english is not as good as well ;-(

Another improvement I'm thinking of is to allow some kind of
wildcards in the syntax match patterns. E.g., we can say:
    startpat='\s*\\begin\zs[:alpha:]*\ze'
    endpat='\s*\\end\zs[:alpha:]*\ze',
('\zs...\ze' in endpat is replaced by the actual matchstr
when searching for the end pattern) to fold all
'\beginxxxx ... \endxxxx' pairs, and:
    let g:TexFoldedEnvironments = '\zs[:alpha:]*\ze'
to fold all environments.

Also it would be nice if lines between '\begin{verbatim' and
'\end{verbatim' can be skipped when searching for start/end
patterns.

I won't try the above enhancements until I have enough free time
(I still have a lot to learn with Vim's scripting language in
order to understand your MakeSyntaxFolds() function ;-) - It should
be much easier for you to do them when you have time :-) )

Best,
LB
