I don't know anything about XML Convert, but
here's the Omnimark commands you need to achieve this:
FIND [ANY EXCEPT WHITE-SPACE]+ => F1
[ANY EXCEPT WHITE-SPACE]+ => F2
ANY-TEXT+ => F3 "%n"
OUTPUT "<employee attribute1='" || F1
|| "' attribute2='" || F2
|| "'>" || F3
|| "</employee>"
(Note: this has not been tested!)
A Perl script would also get the job done.
Hope this helps,
