Hi Jon, I have done that once with the Dutch translation, straight from an XML source to LaTeX and then generating a PDF. It was quite speedy to generate. The 'only' thing that remained to do was to proofread and insert additional breaks into the generate LaTeX.
I am currently working on a pet project that views the Dutch translation as one of the set of Scriptures you can read. It is based on the XML sources and the NetBeans platform. If any of you is interested in seeing how that works let me know.
