Thanks for the replies. I believe what I'm trying to do is impossible.
InDesign just isn't meant for handling html code that contains
paragraphs and indentations. What I think I would have to do would be
to write a little batch script or something that converts the HTML to
tagged text. Thanks!

Perhaps the easiest workaround would be to render the .html in your browser 
and save the screen shot to place on the page.
