One or two years ago I had to migrate and document the policies of an firewall appliance from Palo Alto Networks, but there was no way to export the information in a human-readable format. So wrote a small Python script to export the policies as HTML file.
To run the script the following requirements have to be met.
The script has been tested with PAN-OS 6.1.x. It uses a file called running-config.xml as input and creates a file called output.html to export the policies as HTML.

You can download the file as tohtml.py.
