RTFtoHTML- A Filter to Translate RTF to HTML

RTF is a document formatting language developed by Microsoft. There are many
word processing packages (Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Frame Maker...) that
can read or write RTF format files. RTFtoHTMLwas designed to translate
existing RTF documents into HTML - the format of the World Wide Web.
RTFtoHTMLcan also be used to author new documents specifically for the WWW.

Sample Documents

To get you started, I have a Style Sheet for Microsoft Word. This has
definitions of the Paragraph styles that I use for authoring Web documents.
It renders my RTF versions of the documents in a style that is close to what
XMosaic 2.1 displayed (at one time.)

It is located here.

The HTML version is here.

About RTF

RTF (Rich Text Format) was designed by Microsoft as an open format for
interchanging documents between Microsoft Word and other word processing
packages. It is supported by WordPerfect, FrameMaker, Interleaf and many
other packages on UNIX, Apple, Macintosh, Next, and PC platforms.

The specification for RTF and a set of filters for translating RTF to
plain-text, troff and Tex and LaTex are available at:
ftp://ftp.primate.wisc.edu/pub/RTF

The latest version of the RTF specification is Version 1.4 which corresponds
to Microsoft Word version 7. The RTF and HTML version of the specification
are provided here. And of course, the HTML version of the Specification was
produced by RTFtoHTML!
