Better, but still a bit vague. For EXACTLY your setup, this might work:
Code:
grep -iE "$(tr -d "'" <C:/temp/input.txt | tr '\n' '|')header|footer" C:/temp/output.txt
<Header>My favorite restaurant</Header>
         <name>Belgian Waffles</name>
         <description>Two of our famous Belgian Waffles with plenty of real maple syrup</description>
         <name>Strawberry Belgian Waffles</name>
         <description>Light Belgian waffles covered with strawberries and whipped cream</description>
         <name>Berry-Berry American Pie</name>
         <description>Light American Pie covered with an assortment of fresh berries and whipped cream</description>
<Footer>My favorite restaurant</Footer>

Redirect to C:/temp/output.xml if happy.

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
