Exactly, that's precisely how I am using it right now.

Thks, glad it was useful =) One additional tip: if you put this on your
~/.vimrc

set foldmethod=syntax nofoldenable

vim will start with foldmethod set to syntax mode, but will not activate
folding by default. Then, it's up to you to (de)activate it with z[nNi].
Remember though that not all syntax files support folding.

Best,

Andre
