Usage:
1. Save this script as 'txt2xml.py'.
2. Ensure your text file ('example.txt') is in the same directory as the script.
3. Run the script.
4. The converted XML file ('txt2xml.xml') will be generated in the same directory.

Note: Adjust the 'txt_filename' and 'xml_filename' variables in the script as needed.
