   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
