What type of XML file?  XML is a file format format - it's a way to 
describe file formats, not a format as such itself.  Pandoc can't read 
arbitrary XML files, but it can read a few different XML file types: XHTML, 
ODT, EPUB, DOCX, OPML, DocBook.  (A few of the other input types might be 
XML as well.)

If you have an arbitrary XML file, probably easiest will be to use one of 
the XML-to-XHTML translators out there, tweaked for your situation, and 
then use that as an input to Pandoc.

do that.

It's hard to help to much directly, as it's hard to know what needs to be 
presented as a paragraph, or a table, or in emphasis, etc. from just the 
XML.  Again, XML is a file format format - saying something is XML says how 
to recognize the markup and what rules the markup will need to follow, but 
doesn't say what the markup means in any particular context.

If that's coming from a specific program, it might be best to see if that 
program has an HTML output option.  If not, google to see if someone has 
created an XSLT for that type of file, and then you can feed your input 
file and that XSLT (which describes what parts of the XML file need to be 
what types of things in XHTML) into your XSL process of your choice.  (Some 
cost thousands of dollars, some are free on the web.  They vary widely in 
features and interface, and I haven't done enough with them to have 
recommendations.)

If you can't find an XSLT for your type of file...  Well, you can either 
write one yourself, or get someone to write one for you.  It can be 
somewhat complex, but isn't especially difficult.  Again, there are 
programs and courses to help you - both free and non-free - available.

@Daniel Staal, thanks for your quick reply. I have figured it out and got 
to know that I am using robot framework and it generate 3 file log.html, 
output.xml and report.html. 
And *I believe that output.xml must be embedded/referred from the html 
files. so now can you guide me how can i use pandoc to convert this file 
and please tell me if some other approaches are there.*

*Thanks,*
