This is a basic question but I have been unable to find an answer. I seem to recall that in Quark, I could format plain text with tags so that when I imported the text, the text would autoformat as it entered my Quark document.

Can this be done in Frame? Ideally, I want to "import by reference" a long text document, but would prefer to format the paragraphs in the text file as I write (on a laptop, away from my desk and the FM app) in order to speed the preparation of the Frame file. Nothing too complicated in the formatting, using just Body, Heading1, Heading2 and a couple of others.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
