There are established software solutions to convert from XML to TeX. Nevertheless, these approaches either limit the configurability of the TeX output or introduce a lot of programming effort. In this paper, we will discuss these methods and present an alternative approach that hopes to offer the greatest possible flexibility based on fixed conversions, an extensible configuration and the injection of XSLT, and that forms the basis for our Open Source typesetting system xerif. This talk was held at the Queen Mary University of London for the Markup UK on June 2, 2023. The full paper has been published in the MarkupUK proceedings.
