Hello, I am trying to take a simple list (from echo, not a file) and turn it into a list with HTML codes.

List item one.
List item two.
List item three.

to

<ol>
<li>List item one.</li>
<li>List item two.</li>
<li>List item three.</li>
</ol>


The list is coming in via echo on standard input, and going to standard output.

(I am using OnMyCommand so my plan is that all I have to do is select the list, and choose the right command and it's pasted in place.

I have made some really simple commands in OMC for adding <b></b> tags around text, which is similar to this forums adding of tags. But trying to figure out sed and grep are too much for me for now. The main problem I've been having is trying to get the newlines in place, but for all intents and purposes, I'm back at square one, or should I say square zero. :-) )

I am not wed to any command line program, but it seems sed is the going to be best.

Any help appreciated! (I've searched all over and can't seem to cobble this together. I'm on OS X 10.4 and I believe bash is the default shell.)
