How to convert simple multiplication of variables into dot(.*) multiplication

While doing the Taylor Series approximation of a given function:

F = 0.5*[x1 x2]*h*[x1; x2] + gr_f'*[x1; x2];

I am getting output as:

x2*(4*x1 - 5*x2) - 38*x2 - 46*x1 - x1*(13*x1 - 4*x2)

How to convert this result into (.*) and (.^) ?

for eg:

4*x1.*x2 - 5*x2.^2 ................
