How to Insert Closing for Nested Elements

[Rangeshram]

Dear All,

I have an input without closing tags(only opening) e.g.,

input:

<index.level level="1" ref.id="001"><name>ADDRESSES</name>
<index.level level="2"><name>Abel, I. W.</name> <locator punct.before=" ">34: A-4</locator><locator punct.before=", ">43: A-3</locator>
<index.level level="2"><name>Abzug, Bella</name> <locator punct.before=" ">31: A-4</locator><locator punct.before=", ">48: A-11</locator>
<index.level level="3"><name>Adams. Brock</name> <locator punct.before=" ">22: A-4</locator>
<index.level level="4"><name>Albert, Carl</name> <locator punct.before=" ">36: A-9</locator>

output expected;

<index.level level="1" ref.id="001"><name>ADDRESSES</name>
<index.level level="2"><name>Abel, I. W.</name> <locator punct.before=" ">34: A-4</locator><locator punct.before=", ">43: A-3</locator>
</index.level><!--For index level 2-->
<index.level level="2"><name>Abzug, Bella</name> <locator punct.before=" ">31: A-4</locator><locator punct.before=", ">48: A-11</locator>
<index.level level="3"><name>Adams. Brock</name> <locator punct.before=" ">22: A-4</locator>
<index.level level="4"><name>Albert, Carl</name> <locator punct.before=" ">36: A-9</locator>
</index.level><!--For index level 4-->
</index.level><!--For index level 3-->
</index.level><!--For index level 2-->
</index.level><!--And finally for index level 1-->

Please provide me some guidance to solve this problem.

Thanks,

I am not 100% on what your question really is, but as far as nested tags go, you should always close them in the reverse order that you opened them, with the last one opened being the first one closed.
