TEI documents have a lot of information that can be used for representation and style. Are there any tools to convert such documents into LaTeX in order to create good pdf/html etc. versions?

Could you provide more information on 'TEI'? – Joseph Wright♦ Aug 1 '10 at 15:36

Is it xml markup? Source-code? Binary-blob? Sql database? I can't tell from looking at that website. – Dima Aug 1 '10 at 22:22

It's an XML defined markup. There are XSLT stylesheets for this format from the same website you link to

http://www.tei-c.org/Tools/Stylesheets/

This is a set of XSLT 2.0 specifications to transform TEI XML documents to XHTML, to LaTeX, to XSL Formatting Objects, to OOXML (docx), and to ePub format. The files can be downloaded from the Releases area of http://tei.sf.net . They concentrate on the simpler TEI modules, but adding support for other modules is fairly easy. In the main, the setup has been used on ‘new’ documents, ie reports and web pages that have been authored from scratch, rather than traditional TEI-encoded existing material.
