Can't you, for example, use an SGML parser, such as James Clark's SP
(http://www.jclark.com) to *parse* HTML? (True, HTML is not *exactly*
SGML, but, in some ways, it is almost, and SP comes with a DTD that
allows it to parse HTML3/4: don't expect SP to parse JavaScript
sections or some such thing, however.) *Generating* XML should be
much simpler than *parsing* it: I'd expect that you can just use the
W3C spec of XML for that purpose... Christian
