Have you looked at InDesign Tagged Text files? I use these in database-generated text with CS3. Simplest way is to create one element of the structure in InDesign, save as tagged text, and work out from there what tags you need to surround the text coming out of your data source.

There may well be an alternative way of accomplishing the same result with XML, but I'll leave that to an expert.

By the way, I'm not sure the thread title really reflects what you want to do, which might be why there are so few replies so far.
