For this you could simply have:

Find: <LI>

Replace: \r<LI>

For this:

Find: <BR>

Replace: \r<BR>\r

To do both at the same time:

Find: <[BL][RI]>

Replace: \r&

You can play around putting in a \r in various places.

To flank all HTML tags with \r then:

Find: <.+>

Replace: \r&\r

However I think that Format command in Utilities submenu of the Markup menu 
might be the way to go. This will produce quite a nicely laid out HTML page.

One thing I'll mention about the Format command is that it leaves a single 
space character before every return character so I like to do:

Find: \s\r

Replace: \r

after it.
