RTFTOHTML() RTFTOHTML()
NAME
RTFTOHTML - Converts RTF format to HTML
SYNOPSIS
rtftohtml [rtf-file]
DESCRIPTION
rtftohtml reads up RTF format documents and translates them to HTML.
In processing text, rtftohtml should produce reasonable HTML output
for most documents. Here is what you can expect:
Your output should appear in a file called "xx.html" where "xx"
or"xx.rtf" was your input file name. Bold, italic and underlined text
should appear with <b>,<i> and <u> markup. Courier font text should
appear with <tt> markup Tables will be formatted using <pre> markup
(only plain text is supported in tables.) Footnotes will appear in a
separate document with hypertext links to them. Table of contents,
indexes, headers and footers are discarded. Table of Contents entries
and paragraphs with the style "heading 1..6" will generate a hypertext
Table of Contents in a separate file. Each table of contents entry
will link to the correct location in the main document. All paragraph
styles use in your document must appear in the file "html-trans". This
allows you to create a mapping from any paragraph style to any HTML
markup. There are many pre-defined styles in html-trans, including
"heading 1..6". (If a paragraph style is not found, a warning will be
generated and the text will be written to the HTML file with no
special markup.) Each graphic in your file will be written out to a
separate file. The filename will be "xxn.ext" where "xx" or "xx.rtf"
was your input, "n" is a unique number and "ext" will be either "pict"
for Macintosh. PICT format graphics or "wmf" for Windows Meta-Files
format graphics. The HTML file will create links to these files, using
either "<A HREF=" or "<IMG SRC=" links. SINCE most WWW browsers do not
understand "wmf" or "pict" format files, the link will be to xxn.gif.
This presumes that you will run some other filter to translate your
graphic files to gif. Text that is connected with copy/paste-link
constructs will generate hypertext links.
