I don't know of a good source, but QuarkXPress tags are very similar to
other markup languages. IIRC, one of the Quark engineers played a role in
developing CSS.

Shannon brings up an interesting option though. I talked with a publishing
company that wrote their own Quark tags <-> XML converter. Last I talked to
them it was only in-house, not for public release. I'm still more partial to
the XSLT approach and trying to leverage Quark's XML capabilities, but it
shows that there are alternative approaches out there.
