Thanks a lot for ur reply

Here below is the input file: 

<nl>number list 1
number list 2
<ul>unnumbered list1 
unnumbered list 2
<pl>plain list 1
plain list 2
<nl>numbered list 1
numbered list 2</nl>
</pl>
</ul>
</nl>

The output should be like: 

<list type="numbered">
    <list-item>numbered list 1</listitem>
    <list-item>numbered list 1</listitem>
    <listitem>
        <list type="unnumbered">
        <listitem>unnumbered list1</listitem>
        <listitem>unnumbered list 2</listitem>
        <listitem>
            <list type="plain">
            <listitem>plain list 1</listitem>
            <listitem>plain list 2</listitem>
            <listitem>
                <list type="numbered">
                <list-item>numbered list 1</listitem>
                <list-item>numbered list 1</listitem>
                </list>
            </listitem>
            </list>
        </listitem>
        </list>
    </listitem>
</list>
