I've opened a lot of XML files in Vim, and have never experienced
vim mangling my text/tags. This could be a couple things:
1) Notepad being too smart for its own good (unlikely)
2) you *think* you're opening it in Notepad, but it's some other
tool. I know on Win32, several XML files are sniffed for content
such as Excel's "XML Document" format, differing from DOCX) and
opened with something other than the default "open this with
Notepad" (or IE, or whatever your file associations specify). If
you're really opening Notepad and using the File->Open menu to
navigate to the XML file and open it, and you still see kosher
XML, then it's likely good XML data. Which then indicates
something in Vim...
3) a Vim plugin that you have enabled that escapes HTML entities
To test for #3, I'd try starting vim with
vim -u NONE my_file.xml
to start a virgin copy of Vim. If you appropriately see what you
expect (i.e. non-escaped entities), then some plugin/script is
interfering with things. If you then restart vim normally and
open the file
vim my_file.xml
and issue
:scriptnames
and include the output in your reply, it might help track down
the rogue script that's hosing your XML.
Hope this gets you closer to an answer,
