Check out the following packages.
http://packages.debian.org/stable/text
I recommend.
apt-get install emacs20
apt-get install psgml
Psgml parses XML and gives it color. With a DTD you can find out what
elements are valid.
I think there is also a debian-sgml list.

http://www.w3.org/ is a good place to start
Hope this helps,
