WYSIWYG
My O'Reilly HTML Handbook says you don't have to "end" the <LI> tags. They work like paragraphs - the next <LI> tells the viewer that the previous one has ended.

You should be able to just replace each middot with <LI> - global replace would work for that.

You will have to go in and add the <UL> and </UL> tags at the beginning and end of each list.
