2 | +++++ Announcing Tex2RTF +++++ |
| 3 | +++++ A Free LaTeX to RTF, Windows Help RTF, and HTML converter +++++ | |
| 9a29912f JS |
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 | ||
| 56d34922 | 35 | * wxHTML Help (the wxWindows GUI library help file format) |

| 43 | own documents. See the online manual for further details. | |
| 44 | ||

| 56d34922 JS |
66 | Tex2RTF was developed using the free, cross-platform GUI toolkit |
| 67 | wxWindows, at http://www.wxwindows.org. To compile Tex2RTF | |
| 68 | for platforms for which there are no Tex2RTF binaries, | |
| 69 | you need to download an appropriate version of wxWindows, | |
| 70 | configure and compile the library, then compile Tex2RTF | |
| 71 | in utils/tex2rtf/src. | |
