It just occured to me:


          Why don't we use LaTeX for parsing its own format?


We just have to redefine a lot of macros to typeout the 
information we need.

For conversion of a section headline

        \def\section#1{\typeout{\\section}\typeout{}\typeout{#1}}

is all that is needed. For the XML people it's  even shorter:

        \def\section#1{\typeout{<section>#1</section>}}

Using this method, user defined macros and even certain styles should
work like a charme. People have LaTeX installed anyway, haven't they?

Do I miss something important?
