I am looking to create a script for creating manual

however I would like to ensure that my format is the same as the
existing. I could reverse engineer it by looking at multiple different
dumps but that takes a lot of time and is not fool proof, is there or
can I get documentation and details on exactly how the XML dumps are
formatted?
Such script already exists.

If you are proficient in python, you arrive in the best moment, since
there's currently a discussion about fixing a bug in the tool when it
uses the api. :)
