>>> Down-Translation? <<<

[Nagwa Abdel-Mottaleb]

Greetings:

I am looking for a suitable language that will enable me to 
down-translate XML files into something like LaTeX files. 
Is it easy to use Python for this process? For example, 
how easy it is to write code segments that enable to 
translate

<tag>foo</tag>

in the xml input file into

\begin{tag}
foo
\end{tag}

and things like that in the tex output file?

Any pointers and/or sample code will be appreciated. 
(Please e-mail me if possible.)
