It would be nice if there were some generalized >mechanisms for doing this. There has existed a de-facto standard for conversion of GEDCOM to HTML for a couple of years. Information about it can be found at: <http://206.139.152.113/GenMatch/genmatch.htm>. I have used GED2HTML (http://www.gendex.com/ged2html/) and it works VERY well, even on large databases. The code is in Perl and gets you half-way there on an XML conversion.
