56This document describes a utility for converting \popref{\LaTeX}{latexgloss}\ files into
57several other formats.
58
59Only a subset of \LaTeX\ can be processed by this utility, especially
60since the target document language will never perfectly match \LaTeX.
61Whether the quality of the results is good enough will depend upon the
62application and your own expectations. {\it This caveat is worth emphasizing}, because
63many people assume that any old \LaTeX\ document will go through without modification: it might,
64but the chances are you'll need to modify it a bit for Tex2RTF. Tex2RTF was written with
65portable document maintenance and generation in mind, with less emphasis on accepting all \LaTeX\ syntax.
66You have been warned!
67
68Tex2RTF is heavily biased towards making on-line, hypertext versions of
69\rtfsp\LaTeX\ documents, but the \popref{RTF}{rtf} converter can be used to generate linear,
70paper-based documents too.
71
72The latest version of Tex2RTF, plus source code, can be accessedfrom:

76ftp://www.remstar.com/pub/wxwin/tex2rtf
77\end{verbatim}
78
79It is available in Sun Open Look, Motif, Windows 3.1, Windows 95/NT, and
80non-GUI UNIX versions.
81
82Tex2RTF was developed using the free Open Look, Motif and Windows 3.1
83C++ class library \popref{wxWindows}{wxwindows}.

86
87Windows HTML help, and wxWindows 2 wxHTML help, are now catered for using
88the htmlWorkshopFiles setting.
89
90Tex2RTF is very rarely updated these days: it would be nice to
91rewrite the parser (and indeed the rest of it) at some point,
92to improve error reporting, space handling and ability to
93handle more advanced Tex/Latex commands.

97Thanks are due to the many people in AIAI and on the Internet at large
98who have pointed out bugs or shortcomings in Tex2RTF. Michel Lavaud has been
99a great help in giving advice for improvements to the manual.
