xmlint can do the job. Of course a high level scripting language like perl, python can do a much better job

Code:
$ cat a.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc>
<name>
Doc Name
from a.xml
</name>
<description>
Doc Description
from a.xml
</description>
<others>
Other info
</others>
</doc>

$ name=`echo "xpath //name/text()" | xmllint --shell a.xml | sed -n 's/.*content= \(.*\)/\1/p'`

$ description=`echo "xpath //description/text()" | xmllint --shell a.xml | sed -n 's/.*content= \(.*\)/\1/p'`

$ echo $name
Doc Name from a.xml

$ echo $description 
Doc Description from a.xml

Just use a for loop to do for multiple files, I will leave this to you to finish off the rest of the script.
