Gdome2 is used to create a DOM of an xml document and then to traverse the
tree while translating it into braille. The program may provide some good
examples of the use of gdmoe2. Here's a press release.

PRESS RELEASE

Computers to Help People, Inc. announces the alpha version of a new
braille translator optimized for technical material. The program, called
xml2brl, accepts both xml and plain-text files and produces "brf" files
suitable for printing directly on a braille embosser or for reading on a
braille display. It handles a wide variety of xml files, including
those exported from Microsoft Word as xml. At present, it runs only on
Linux, but a Windows port is planned. It is Open Source and free
software. To read more and download it, go to www.chpi.org/whatsnew.html
