Why not use

to turn all the NOTE lines into <div> blocks? Or am I misunderstanding
something about the transformation you need?

 One big problem with the first part is that I *only* want to concatenate the continuation lines when they appear immediately following a "2 NOTE..." tag, AND that "2 NOTE" tag must be either the next or next but one line after "2 TYPE tngnote". 

 

 I neglected to make it clear earlier that I need to first search on  "2 TYPE tngnote" since there are other "2 TYPE" tags where I don't want to change anything.
