Have a look at this:

  http://home.vrweb.de/~juergen.kahrs/gawk/XML/xmlgawk.html#Printing-an-outline-of-an-XML-file

The idea of the script is to turn an XML file into
indented ASCII output like this:

     book lang='en' id='hello-world'
       bookinfo
         title
       chapter id='introduction'
         title
         para
         sect1 id='about-this-book'
           title
           para
         sect1 id='work-in-progress'
           title
           para

All that is needed is this script:

     @load xml
     XMLSTARTELEM {
       printf("%*s%s", 2*XMLDEPTH-2, "", XMLSTARTELEM)
       for (i=1; i<=NF; i++)
         printf(" %s='%s'", $i, XMLATTR[$i])
       print ""
     }

I hope this is what you need.
