I started with a little QXP to HTML script from
http://union.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HyperNews/get/www/html/converters.html that has
grown into a full-blown hands-off drag-and-drop HTML converter for tagged
exports from QXP (cf. uwreport.com: the news and classifieds are done
entirely in MacPerl):

http://union.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HyperNews/get/www/html/converters.html

Links, tables, lists, special characters, styles, custom headers and
footers -- all no problem for MacPerl whatsoever (s//g; in particular).
Although it helps a bit to be able to dictate the style names used in the
Quark documents (since you are likely to find more variations there than
HTML will support).

Have fun!
