The manual suggests that quickstyles can be applied to the html files used in custom items by inserting a <ml.$> in the html file. All this seems to do is display the quickstyle file name on the question.

Also, if I use an html file as the Backimg to format the questionnaire wording will it accept variables from the response.xls file? I need to have the question include values from response.xls & also be formatted.
