Quark to Web Formats

Hello,
I am having a heck of a time researching how to ingest a Quark 4.1 file and convert it to a web format, either HTML or XML.

Has anyone ever done this? Is it as messy as it sounds?
I understand that you can export from the application as .xml or .html, but for many reasons i have been tasked with ingesting and converting from an existing file.

Any help would be GREAT!

Ah, yes... the avenue.quark program.

This is one of the options for exporting through a software, but not about actually ingesting the file through a web form and converting it on the fly.

I wonder if this is a possibility at all, it seems like most signs point to exporting.

Unless you're dealing with audio, image, and/or video converting data more then once should in most circumstances (I would imagine) not hurt or do much if any harm.

So you may want to create a theoretical map of the various steps of converting the data.

Type 1 maybe not convert to type 3...

...but if you convert type 1 to type 2...

...you may be able to then convert type 2 to type 3.

Good luck!
