This document describes a utility for converting \popref{\LaTeX}{latexgloss}\ files into
several other formats.

Only a subset of \LaTeX\ can be processed by this utility, especially
since the target document language will never perfectly match \LaTeX.
Whether the quality of the results is good enough will depend upon the
application and your own expectations. {\it This caveat is worth emphasizing}, because
many people assume that any old \LaTeX\ document will go through without modification: it might,
but the chances are you'll need to modify it a bit for Tex2RTF. Tex2RTF was written with
portable document maintenance and generation in mind, with less emphasis on accepting all \LaTeX\ syntax.
You have been warned!

Tex2RTF is heavily biased towards making on-line, hypertext versions of
\rtfsp\LaTeX\ documents, but the \popref{RTF}{rtf} converter can be used to generate linear,
paper-based documents too.

The latest version of Tex2RTF, plus source code, can be accessedfrom:

\begin{verbatim}
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/tex2rtf
ftp://www.remstar.com/pub/wxwin/tex2rtf
\end{verbatim}

It is available in Sun Open Look, Motif, Windows 3.1, Windows 95/NT, and
non-GUI UNIX versions.

Tex2RTF was developed using the free Open Look, Motif and Windows 3.1
C++ class library \popref{wxWidgets}{wxwidgets}.

\section{Status of Tex2RTF}\index{status of Tex2RTF}%

Windows HTML help, and wxWidgets 2 wxHTML help, are now catered for using
the htmlWorkshopFiles setting.

Tex2RTF is very rarely updated these days: it would be nice to
rewrite the parser (and indeed the rest of it) at some point,
to improve error reporting, space handling and ability to
handle more advanced Tex/Latex commands.

\section{Acknowledgements}\index{acknowledgements}%

Thanks are due to the many people in AIAI and on the Internet at large
who have pointed out bugs or shortcomings in Tex2RTF. Michel Lavaud has been
a great help in giving advice for improvements to the manual.
