Does XSLT count? I've never seen anyone else actually use it, but I used to use it quite a bit for documentation; same documentation needed to be on an internal wiki in wiki format, then html and markdown for a blog. Using XML and XSLT seemed logical at the time.

I've also used it to turn a custom content format sent for i18n into SQL statements to re-import into a DB.

Not how I'd do it now though.

Yes, absolutely it counts! 😄 I work on documentation tools, and I've worked with my fair share of obscure document formats lol
