   2 +++++                    Announcing Tex2RTF                      +++++
   3 +++++  A Free LaTeX to RTF, Windows Help RTF, and HTML 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   *  wxHTML Help (the wxWidgets GUI library help file format)
  36
  37 Installation
  38 ============
  39
  40 Under Windows, please run the supplied install.exe program. The Tex2RTF
  41 manual itself serves as an example input file, in the docs subdirectory
  42 with various .sty, .ini, and .gif files that you may need for your
  43 own documents. See the online manual for further details.
  44
  45 Platforms supported
  46 ===================
  47
  48   *  Windows (all 32-bit desktop versions)
  49
  50   *  Any Unix supporting wxWidgets
  51
  52   *  Mac OS X
  53
  54 Where to get it
  55 ===============
  56
  57 The latest version of Tex2RTF can be accessed by anonymous ftp
  58 from:
  59
  60     ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/tex2rtf
  61
  62 The WWW pages are at:
  63
  64     http://www.wxwidgets.org/tex2rtf
  65
  66 Tex2RTF was developed using the free, cross-platform GUI toolkit
  67 wxWidgets, at http://www.wxwidgets.org. To compile Tex2RTF
  68 for platforms for which there are no Tex2RTF binaries,
  69 you need to download an appropriate version of wxWidgets,
  70 configure and compile the library, then compile Tex2RTF
  71 in utils/tex2rtf/src.
