There are 2 dumpers in sw, a document and a layout dumper. To dump the layout from a debugger, you need a reference to the SwRootFrame of the document, then you can call pRoot->dumpAsXml() already, it'll write its output in a file called layout.xml in the current directory. The same is true for the doc xml dump, just it's SwDoc::dumpAsXml() and the output is nodes.xml. If some of that is not up to your expectations, feel free to submit a gerrit patch to improve the output, the current contents is quite ad-hoc, based on what was necessary for debugging past bugs and features. :-) (sw/qa/extras/README documents how the UI can invoke these functions in debug mode via (Shift-)F12.)
