Just one more thought, without GREP you can do a lot too with
plain S&R. If there is a full stop at the end of each list item
and they are one sentence jobs. You can target the stop and say
to replace "." with ".</li> over some selected text. No matter
about occasional two sentence list item, you can clean up later,
the bulk of a long list can be done this way quicker then typing
or even cutting and pasting the "</li>" after each item.
Lots of other ways to skin this cat. Some editors can insert a
"<li></li>" at a key command, you then type in between.
Or better still, make yourself up a little template:
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
Make it longish and simply paste this in, further cut and paste
more pairs to suit your list and type in the midst. The key to
time saving is to think to do this beforehand.
