I haven't used Textmate for editing a programming language in such a long time, that perhaps I am confused, but....

I wanted to edit a kml file generated by Google Earth. Kml should format as xml, right?

I see this post http://textmate.1073791.n5.nabble.com/XML-block-folding-bug-td9215.html from 2007 saying that the open/close doesn't work if the end tag is not on a separate line--unacknowledged and (seemingly) unfixed.

And as a variation on that bug report, I see that the following code also doesn't open/close. If you fix all the indentations by hand, then it does, but, surprisingly to me, tidying the code doesn't make any changes.

This is all in service to trying to edit a giant kml file from Google Earth. On this file, folding is not working correctly, and tidying the code changes the folding (still incorrect, but different).

I am beginning to think that I can't easily edit a kml file in TextMate, because without folding, it is nearly impossible to figure out where blocks start and end. (The file is well over 32,000 lines long).

Any thoughts before I give up?

I did download the kml bundle, but it doesn't help.
