| 2 | +++++ Announcing Tex2RTF +++++ | |
| 3 | +++++ A Free LaTeX to RTF, Windows Help RTF, HTML & wxHelp converter +++++ | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | Purpose | |
| 6 | ======= | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | * Allows you to maintain manuals in printed and hypertext formats. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | * Allows conversion of existing LaTeX documents to word processor | |
| 11 | formats (usually some 'tweaking' is required to conform to | |
| 12 | Tex2RTF restrictions). | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | Input | |
| 15 | ===== | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | A LaTeX subset with some additional hypertext macros; no maths, | |
| 18 | minimal table support. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Caveat: Please do not expect to convert arbitrary LaTex files without | |
| 21 | editing: this is not the primary intention of Tex2RTF. Success converting | |
| 22 | existing LaTeX depends on your expectations and the style in which | |
| 23 | the LaTeX was written. Tex2RTF does not accept pure TeX (non-LaTeX) | |
| 24 | documents. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Output | |
| 27 | ====== | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | * ordinary RTF | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | * Windows Help hypertext RTF | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | * HTML (the World Wide Web hypertext format) | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | * wxHelp (the wxWindows GUI library help file format) | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Installation | |
| 38 | ============ | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Under Windows, please run the supplied install.exe program. The Tex2RTF | |
| 41 | manual itself serves as an example input file, in the docs subdirectory | |
| 42 | with various .sty, .ini, and .gif files that you may need for your | |
| 43 | own documents. See the online manual for further details. | |
| 44 | ||
