Yes it is, we are using Soup (http://www.squeaksource.com/Soup.html ) to 
parse html files. It's pretty good, though not perfect. There are also 2-3 
other html parsers for Squeak. We're using this one because it's designed 
to be able to parse not standard compilant html files (which are very 
common) The tools for xml building are in the Squeak image, look for 
XMLNode and it's subclasses (XMLDocument, XMLNodeWithElements, XMLString, 
etc).
