Hello,
I'm writing my first bash script and I already have it mostly done except for this. My task is to convert a text file into a html.

I need to replace '@ ' with an unordered list <ul> and following items in <li></li>, like this:

@ Item
@ Item
@ Item
to

<ul>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</ul>

SOLVED this on my own, you can delete this thread.

Okay, here is the part of the code:

CODE

   *for every line starting with '@ '
   /^  \@ /{
   # adds tag <ul>
   i\
   <ul>
   # exchange '@ ' for <li>
   s!^  \* $.*$$!<li>\1</li>!
   # adds tag </ul>
   a\
   </ul>
   }

   # if there was a change in the file, jump to 'end'
   t end
   # else switch <br/> for line end
   s!$!<br/>!

   : end
   * adds html footer at the end of file
   * if there's </ul><ul> under each other, delete the </ul>
   $a\
   </body></html>' | sed '/<\/ul>/{
   N
   /<ul>/d
   }'
