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 docu-
ment 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 out-
put 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 direc-
tory, 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 . 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 in-
put.
--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 configu-
ration 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
configuration 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.
