If you want to get more from your code than just a PDF (or DVI) output, e.g. HTML, or if you need a good typesetting machine for your XML code, you're right with ConTeXt.

Handling XML in ConTeXt has improved dramatically with the advent of MKIV. A new infrastructure, based on Lua, makes typesetting, manipulating, filtering, reusing XML much much easier than before. Unfortunately, this means that most of the existing documentation is now obsolete. As a rule of thumb: in general, the "old" MKII code uses upper-case XML in its commands, the new MKIV code uses lower-case xml.

Here are some links to existing docs:
