Hi Folks I have an text file which is pre-edited. I need to convert into an xml file(which accords with a DTD). Txt file eg:
[[a]] some text here[[/a]] [[b]] some more text [[/b]] [[a]] some text again[[c]]moer here..[[/c]] [[/a]]
This is only a simpler version of the text file. There are many pre-editing tags([[a]],[[b]],[[c]]..) which represent different segment of xml document. Any element can come inside anyother elements.
Can you suggest some way of converting it to an xml document. Or is there any modueles available to simplify nested element conversion? Your suggestion would be of immense help to me! Thanks in advance

Edit: removed 'l33t-speak', fixed [s davorg
