There are a lot of improvements that need to be done to the syntax
highlighting engine. I will implement them in a future release,
unless someone sends a patch first.

Auto indent will be greatly improved in jEdit 4.0.

The "Go to Matching Tag" bug will be fixed in the next version of the
XML plugin. As for a 'collapse all folds' command, try pressing
C+e ENTER 1. (This is the same as invoking View->Folding->Expand Folds
With Level and pressing 1).
