Thank you for your answer. It looks like this is the way to go, or maybe
I should leave this kind of information completely out of the
TextBuffer?!

Originally I was more hoping for something like:
gtk_text_buffer_eat_tags(buffer, FALSE);  :)

I'll try your idea and I will test it with as structure like this:

<list>
  <list-item-a>xxx</list-item-a>
  <list-item-b>yyy</list-item-b>
  <list-item-a>zzz</list-item-a>
  ...
</list>

Thanks again for the input!
