FWIW, the '</li>' tag is optional in HTML, so if you're not using XHTML,
creating a list in a reasonably featureful text editor is as simple as
selecting an area, doing a regular expression search and replace
equivalent to 's/^/<li>/g' and then topping and tailing it with
'<ul>...</ul>' or '<ol>...</ol>'.

Even if you're using XHTML, you just need to use a slightly more
complicated search and replace: s/^(.+)$/<li>\1<\/li>/g
