Really, XML? I hope you bought stock in the makers of Tums & Pepsid.
The Latex table is easy, here's a single line from a Latex table:
2011/05/20 & TravelAgencyFee & AGENT FEE & \$40.00 & \\ \hline
It's '&' separated.
Latex also links in all my receipt images seamlessly that I get via
Ledger metadata.
\includegraphics[scale=.6,angle=90]{./Receipts/PROJ3009/20110527_NJTransit_3_00.jpg}
\\
Tada. All that and a fully function PDF with TOC to boot.
The perl script interrogates Ledger and parses the output to reformat
to Latex.
To get you started, here's a sample txn:
2011/03/13 (03/15/2011) HAMPTON INNS
; RECEIPT: Receipts/PROJ0000/hampton.jpg
Source:Visa $-246.34
Dest:Projects
; ER: ER0001
; PROJECT: PROJ0000
; CATEGORY: Lodging
Then you can play with --pivot and ER, PROJECT, and use %ER=ER0001 to
see your expense.
Thanks.
