Still the same question : what is an "xml heading" ? xml is a textual
markup language. It has elements ('tags') which can have content and
attributes -  but nothing like "headings".

file.readlines() iterates over lines of a opened text file - it doesn't
give a damn about what this text is, xml, python code, csv or whatever.
If your file contains xml and you want to interpret the xml, you have to
use a xml parser.
