This is called an "up-translate" and can be done with pattern-matching
software. It is possible using standard facilities like Regular
Expressions implemented in (eg Perl, Python, Tcl, etc) or even using
sed, awk, and grep, but it is much better to use a tool which knows
about XML.

Two possible tools are XSLT2 (eg as in Saxon8: saxon.sourceforge.net)
or Omnimark (www.stilo.com), both of which can be used to pattern-match
your way through plaintext data or text (and it doesn't even have to
be line-by-line either).
