Have you looked at chapter 3.10 "Testing" of the manual xml-mkiv.pdf?
There are a lot of commands there that should help you, such as
\xmldoiftext {#1} {/mdata/date}
{\bf \xmlflush {#1}}
or \xmldoifelsetext.
There's also \xmlfilter, which you can use to test for the content of
tags. And of course, you can process in Lua and search for strings or
use lpeg. However, your question is a bit vague now. Show us some code
you have and we can take it from there; that's easier than writing the
whole setup for you.

Hello list,
having the xml data at the bottom, I would like to process it so that
the result is like this:
---
What it is (e.g. bold formatted)
date: 2023-08-01 (italic)
Description (small font size)
Another text (small font size)
hd1 - Header 1
§ 1 First (A first short description)
AAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBB
§ 2 Second (A second short description)
CCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDD
§ 3 Third (A third short description)
EEEEEEEEEE
FFFFFFFFFF

How can I process the <element>s differently? The first element contains
a <date> tag and so it differs from the other ones. The second element's
<name> tag contains the word "Header" which makes it different again.
The other elements contain a <shortdescription> tag that they all have
in common.
What could be the appropriate xml setups to generate the above output?
