The easiest way would be to create a converting XSLT from the XML that is
usually possible to generate by doxygen. I created a convertor from the
doxygen XML into an ndoc XML to be able to finalize documentation in ndoc
and it was pretty straightforward (not finished yet though). If you are
familiar with XSLT it is the quickest way. Debugging of a native
documentation generator is harder than fixing a XSL template... But you can
decide what is the best for your needs.

Unfortunately I am not aware about the DTD.
