NAME
       UnRTF - converts document in RTF format to other formats

SYNOPSIS
       unrtf [options] [file...]

       Options:  [--nopict]  [--noremap]  [-P config_search_path]  [--html]  [--text] [--vt] [--rtf]
       [--latex] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--version] [-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 col‐
       ors.  Images are always stored to separate files in the current directory, or they can be ig‐
       nored.

       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 for‐
       mats.  The configuration files can be read from the distributed ones,  or  from  user  files,
       searched  for in the config_search_path .  Note that the order of the -P and output arguments
       is important.  The search path must be set before any argument that will load a configuration
       file if that file is not in the standard place.

       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/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/share/unrtf where distributed output con‐
              figuration files are installed.

FILES
       /usr/share/unrtf/*.conf
              – run time output configuration files.

       /usr/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.
