The problem here isn't Frame or Quadralay, the problem is HTML. HTML
doesn't have as many format options as Frame does, so formats tend to
get blurred in the conversion. If your Frame document is badly
designed for conversion, the result will be, umm, messy, as indention
and bolding and numbered-lists-within-numbered-lists all get leveled.
