<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label readML</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Using TeX to read SGML or XML directly</h3>
<p/>This can nowadays be done, with a certain amount of clever macro
programming.  David Carlisle&#8217;s <i>xmltex</i> is the prime example;
it offers a solution (of sorts) for typesetting XML files.
<p/>One use of a TeX that can typeset XML files is as a backend
processor for XSL formatting objects, serialized as XML.
Sebastian Rahtz&#8217;s PassiveTeX uses <i>xmltex</i> to
achieve this end.
<p/>However, modern usage would proceed via XSL or XSLT2 to
produce a formattable version.
