External Image link and description formating

Hi All

As currently there is no inbuilt XML capability within ZenCart im trying to get the data into ZenCart by importing the XML from our wholesaler website into Excel then uploading using Easy Populate to our site.

Although this works great for the most part, I have the following problems and questions.

Rather than uploading all the images to our site, I want to be able to point the image path to the image on the wholesale website....
So within the the product set-up page, you enter the path to the image, I want that to be external rather point to /images on my server.

Also, the Description once imported to Excel does not have any formatting for the tables and list function etc. So once its uploaded to our site, you can see all the HTML formatting rather than the formatted description end result..

I have attached an example of a couple of products from the list

Also the XML link is: http://www.w2u-wholesale.com/productsfeed.xml

Thanks in advance !
