[joomla] Quark to html

Wow, this question takes me back a few years! I used to use an plugin 
from Extensis to do this over 10 years ago called BeyondPress. It was 
fairly reliable but did require a lot of tweaking in BBEdit to make it 
work. The best part about it was that it pulled the graphics and text 
out in a reasonably succinct manner setting up tables, etc. 
Unfortunately, they no longer make it.

Couple of options: easiest would be to copy and paste text into new 
Joomla content items. You'd lose the formatting but that helps keep a 
site looking all the same. There is an HTML export feature built into 
Quark called the HTML Text Export Filter. Finally, there are plugins 
currently being developed and sold that do the Quark->HTML export...more 
info available here:

Too bad the PDF indexer didn't work - that would have been the best, I 
think.

Best-
Graham
