We're doing this XML to HTML conversion as one of the steps in our process
of rendering Wikipedia for our WikiReader device. We can build Spanish
without issues.

All of our source code is here:

  http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader

The specific portion you would need is the offline-renderer located here:


http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader/tree/master/host-tools/offline-renderer/

You'll probably need to modify the HTML output for your specific needs. Just
let me know if you get stuck.
