+xmltex implements a non-validating parser for documents matching the
+W3C XML Namespaces Recommendation. The system may just be used to
+parse the file (expanding entity references and normalising namespace
+declarations) in which case it records a trace of the parse on the
+terminal. Normally however the information from the parse is used to
+trigger TeX typesetting code. Declarations (in TeX syntax) are
+provided as part of xmltex to associate TeX code with the start and
+end of each XML element, attributes, processing instructions, and with
+unicode character data.
