NAME

       UnRTF - converts document in RTF format to other formats


SYNOPSIS

       unrtf [options] [file...]

       Options: [--nopict] [--noremap] [--html] [--text] [--vt] [--rtf]
       [--latex] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--version]
       [-P config_search_path] [-t tags_file]


DESCRIPTION

       The program unrtf is a converter from Rich Text Format (RTF) to a
       growing number of document formats. At present it supports Hypertext
       Markup Language (HTML), plain text, text with VT100 codes, LaTeX, and
       RTF itself.  It is possible to produce troff files with macro calls; an
       example configuration for troff and the mm macro package is provided.
       All output formats except HTML are "alpha" i.e. limited and development
       has just begun.  However with HTML, the program supports tables, fonts,
       hyperlinks, and paragraph alignment. Font support includes face and
       size changes, as well as typical attributes such as italic, bold,
       underlining, strikethrough, smallcaps, allcaps, expand, compress and
       both foreground and background colors.  Images are always stored to
       separate files in the current directory, or they can be ignored.

       Starting with version 0.21.0, all control of unrtf output is through
       runtime configuration files.  This makes it easy for users to fine-tune
       the output, and/or define new output formats.  The configuration files
       can be read from the distributed ones, or from user files, searched for
       in the config_search_path .

       Code page conversion is performed with the iconv(3) package.


OPTIONS

       --nopict
              disables the automatic storing of embedded pictures to the
              current directory.

       --noremap
              disables charset conversion (currently only works for 8-bit
              charsets).

       --html selects HTML output (default).

       --rtf  selects RTF output.  The resulting output will often be much
              smaller than the input.

       --text selects plain ASCII text output.

       --vt   selects text output with VT100 escape codes.

       --latex
              selects output of a LaTeX document.

       --verbose
              prints additional information.

       --quiet
              suppress output of leading comments

       --version
              prints the program version.

       -t tags_file
              specifies the tags output configuration file to be used. The
              command "unrtf -t html" is functionally identical to "unrtf
              --html".  The configuration files are a simple format.  To
              change the behaviour of unrtf, a local copy of a system
              configuration file can be be made and edited.  The most complete
              configuration file and hence the best starting point is
              /usr/local/share/unrtf/html.conf.

       -P config_search_path
              specifies the directories in which the configuration file for
              the specified format will be sought.  The path can be provided
              as a single directory or a list of colon separated directories.
              The default is /usr/local/share/unrtf/ where distributed output
              configuration files are installed.


FILES

       /usr/local/share/unrtf/*.conf
              - run time output configuration files.

       /usr/local/share/unrtf/SYMBOL.charmap
              - UTF encoding of the SYMBOL font used in many RTF files.
              Unfortunately the iconv package does not include font encodings.
              The format is identical to iconv code page files.
