2+++++ Announcing Tex2RTF +++++
3+++++ A Free LaTeX to RTF, Windows Help RTF, and HTML converter +++++
4
5Purpose
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
14Input
15=====
16
17A LaTeX subset with some additional hypertext macros; no maths,
18minimal table support.
19
20Caveat: Please do not expect to convert arbitrary LaTex files without
21editing: this is not the primary intention of Tex2RTF. Success converting
22existing LaTeX depends on your expectations and the style in which
23the LaTeX was written. Tex2RTF does not accept pure TeX (non-LaTeX)
24documents.
25
26Output
27======
28
29 * ordinary RTF
30
31 * Windows Help hypertext RTF
32
33 * HTML (the World Wide Web hypertext format)
34
35 * wxHTML Help (the wxWidgets GUI library help file format)
36
37Installation
38============
39
40Under Windows, please run the supplied install.exe program. The Tex2RTF
41manual itself serves as an example input file, in the docs subdirectory
42with various .sty, .ini, and .gif files that you may need for your
43own documents. See the online manual for further details.
44
45Platforms supported
46===================

48 * Windows (all 32-bit desktop versions)
49

53
54Where to get it

65
66Tex2RTF was developed using the free, cross-platform GUI toolkit
67wxWidgets, at http://www.wxwidgets.org. To compile Tex2RTF
68for platforms for which there are no Tex2RTF binaries,
69you need to download an appropriate version of wxWidgets,
70configure and compile the library, then compile Tex2RTF
71in utils/tex2rtf/src.
