+++++ Announcing Tex2RTF +++++ +++++ A Free LaTeX to RTF, Windows Help RTF, HTML & wxHelp converter +++++ Purpose ======= * Allows you to maintain manuals in printed and hypertext formats. * Allows conversion of existing LaTeX documents to word processor formats (usually some 'tweaking' is required to conform to Tex2RTF restrictions). Input ===== A LaTeX subset with some additional hypertext macros; no maths, minimal table support. Caveat: Please do not expect to convert arbitrary LaTex files without editing: this is not the primary intention of Tex2RTF. Success converting existing LaTeX depends on your expectations and the style in which the LaTeX was written. Tex2RTF does not accept pure TeX (non-LaTeX) documents. Output ====== * ordinary RTF * Windows Help hypertext RTF * HTML (the World Wide Web hypertext format) * wxHelp (the wxWindows GUI library help file format) Installation ============ Under Windows, please run the supplied install.exe program. The Tex2RTF manual itself serves as an example input file, in the docs subdirectory with various .sty, .ini, and .gif files that you may need for your own documents. See the online manual for further details. Platforms supported =================== * SPARC Open Look * SPARC Motif * Windows 3.1 Where to get it =============== The latest version of Tex2RTF can be accessed by anonymous ftp from ftp.aiai.ed.ac.uk in the directory /pub/packages/tex2rtf. The WWW pages are at http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~jacs/tex2rtf.html. Tex2RTF was developed using the free Open Look/Motif/Windows 3.1 C++ class library wxWindows, also available from the above FTP site in the /pub/packages/wxwin directory. The wxWindows WWW pages are at http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~jacs/wxwin.html. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Julian Smart, November 1995 Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute University of Edinburgh 80 South Bridge Edinburgh Scotland EH1 1HN EMAIL: J.Smart@ed.ac.uk TEL: 0131 650 2746
