I'm using Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec and Text.XHtml to parse an input and get a HTML output.

If my input is:

    * First item, First level
    ** First item, Second level
    ** Second item, Second level
    * Second item, First level

My output should be:

<ul><li>First item, First level <ul><li>First item, Second level </li><li>Second item, Second level </li></ul></li><li>Second item, First level</li></ul>

I wrote this, but obviously does not work recursively

list= do{ s <- many1 item;return (olist << s) } item= do{ (count 1 (char '*')) ;s <- manyTill anyChar newline ;return ( li << s) }

Any ideas? the recursion can be more than two levels

Thanks!
