[antlr-interest] Lists. Lexer or Parser?

Trying to get my head round antlr. 3.1

Processing a simple text file through to XML, looking at lists.

* kdkdkdkdk
* ldldldldld

Using the Lexer is easy enough to get into a list element markup,
is it possible to use the lexer to wrap all the list elements
in a list tag?

I.e. how to create

<list>
<item>kdkdkdk</item>
<item>ldldldl</item>
</list>


or is that a job for the Parser or AST?

TIA
