Well, if you can guarantee that the specimen encapsulates all of the grammar rules you're likely to find, and the sentences themselves consist of the only patterns you're going to find, then you can brute-force some perl out that's not too painful. Woodenly using your input sample as THE pattern, a 30-line script can blindly cobble together this kind of output (not perfect but close):
Seoul: population more than 10.2 million
Seoul: capital South Korea
Seoul: is world's largest city terms population.
Sao Paulo(Brazil): world's second-largest city
Sao Paulo(Brazil): has population over ten million.
Three other cities: have grown to more than nine million people.
Bombay(India): have grown to more than nine million people.
Jakarta(Indonesia) and Karachi(Pakistan): have grown to more than nine million people.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
