I want to read in a HTML file and format with a CSS file.  
I’m using MX2004.  
From what I’ve read, this should be possible?

I’m getting stuck at the first obstacle, I can’t figure out how to read in the HTML file.  
THe use of the CSS styling seems to be straight forward.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
