rtfx(1)                DragonFly General Commands Manual               rtfx(1)

NAME
     rtfx - converts RTF to a generic XML format

SYNOPSIS
     rtfx [-pw] [inrtf] [outxml]
     rtfx -v

DESCRIPTION
     rtfx converts RTF files into a generic XML format. It majors on keeping
     meta data like style names, etc... rather than every bit of formatting.
     This makes it handy for converting RTF documents into a custom XML format
     (using XSL or an additional processing step).

     The output format is documented on the rtfx website (below). There are
     two slight variations of output format. The normal mode contains content
     type data with formatting that has content relevance (such as bold or
     underline). The presentation format adds some more
     formatting/presentation tags (such as fonts or colors).

OPTIONS
     The options are as follows:

     -p          Puts rtfx into 'presentation' output mode.

     -v          Displays rtfx version number and then quits.

     -w          Output XML is written with indents for easy reading.

     inrtf       The RTF file to convert. If not specified reads from stdin.

     outxml      The XML file to output the converted data to. If not
                 specified writes to stdout.
