subject: convert a non-xml file to xml using xsl?
Content-Type: text

I am new to this and wonder if we can use XSL to convert a non-XML 
file into XML.
The file format I am interested is very similar to XML.  For example:

configure network [1]
   configure router [1]
      configure interface [ 1 ]
         set ip 1.2.3.4
         set mask 255.255.255.0
         commit
      return
      configure interface [ 2 ]
         set ip 3.4.5.6
         set mask 255.255.255.0
         commit
      return
   return
   configure switch [1]
      configure interface [ 1 ]
         set ip 5.6.7.8
         set mask 255.255.255.0
         set nexthub 132.132.132.132
         commit
      return
   return
return

The expected XML format would be something like
<network id = "l">
  <router id = "1">
    <interface id = "1">
      <ip>1.2.3.4></ip>
      <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
    </interface>
    <interface id = "2">
      <ip>3.4.5.6></ip>
      <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
    </interface>
  </router>
  <switch id = "1">
    <interface id = "1">
      <ip>5.6.7.8></ip>
      <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
      <nexthub>132.132.132.132</nexthub>
    </interface>
  </switch>
</network>


Can we use XSL to convert it?

Thanks :)
