Numbering The Sentences Inside A In A .xml File?

I'm a beginner programmer and I'm stuck on this possibly easy problem: I want to automatically add numbers to the sentences contained in the P tags of an .xml file. So a sample par

Solution 1:

Something like this (very untested) might work

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse(XML_FILE)
root = tree.getroot()


for p in root.iter('p'):
   sentences = p.text.split('.')
   p.text = ".".join([("<sup>%i<sup>" % count) + sentence for count, sentence in enumerate(sentences)])

tree.write(XML_FILE)
