VS code shortcut to wrap multiple lines of text in same tag?

Time:09-19

I have a text file containing 100 lines of words. Need to wrap them all in li tags to display as bullet points on a website. How to do so fast in VS code using some shortcut? If I paste the text in VS code, it takes up 100 lines with one word on each line.

  5. Profit
foo
bar
baz asdad
foo bar baz 123

Becomes

<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
<li>baz asdad</li>
<li>foo bar baz 123</li>
