So I have a plain text list like this:
I am the first top-level list item I am his son Me too Second one here His son His daughter I am the son of the one above Me too because of the indentation Another one
And I would like to turn that into:
<ul>
<li>I am the first top-level list-item
<ul>
<li>I am his son</li>
<li>Me too</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Second one here
<ul>
<li>His son</li>
<li>His daughter
<ul>
<li>I am the son of the one above</li>
<li>Me too because of the indentation</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Another one</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
How would one go about doing that?
