DESCRIPTION

16       The program unrtf is a converter from Rich Text Format (RTF) to a grow‐
17       ing number of document formats. At present it supports Hypertext Markup
18       Language  (HTML),  plain  text,  text  with VT100 codes, LaTeX, and RTF
19       itself.  It is possible to produce troff files  with  macro  calls;  an
20       example  configuration  for troff and the mm macro package is provided.
21       All output formats except HTML are "alpha" i.e. limited and development
22       has just begun.  However with HTML, the program supports tables, fonts,
23       hyperlinks, and paragraph alignment. Font  support  includes  face  and
24       size  changes,  as  well  as  typical  attributes such as italic, bold,
25       underlining, strikethrough, smallcaps, allcaps,  expand,  compress  and
26       both  foreground  and  background  colors.  Images are always stored to
27       separate files in the current directory, or they can be ignored.
28
29       Starting with version 0.21.0, all control of unrtf  output  is  through
30       runtime configuration files.  This makes it easy for users to fine-tune
31       the output, and/or define new output formats.  The configuration  files
32       can be read from the distributed ones, or from user files, searched for
33       in the config_search_path .
34
35       Code page conversion is performed with the iconv(3) package.

OPTIONS

38       --nopict
39              disables the automatic storing of embedded pictures to the  cur‐
40              rent directory.
41
42       --noremap
43              disables  charset  conversion  (currently  only  works for 8-bit
44              charsets).
45
46       --html selects HTML output (default).
47
48       --rtf  selects RTF output.  The resulting output  will  often  be  much
49              smaller than the input.
50
51       --text selects plain ASCII text output.
52
53       --vt   selects text output with VT100 escape codes.
54
55       --latex
56              selects output of a LaTeX document.
57
58       --verbose
59              prints additional information.
60
61       --version
62              prints the program version.
63
64       -t tags_file
65              specifies  the  tags  output  configuration file to be used. The
66              command "unrtf -t html"  is  functionally  identical  to  "unrtf
67              --html".   The  configuration  files  are  a  simple format.  To
68              change the behaviour of unrtf, a local copy of a system configu‐
69              ration  file  can be be made and edited.  The most complete con‐
70              figuration  file  and  hence  the   best   starting   point   is
71              /usr/local/lib/unrtf/html.conf.
72
73       -P config_search_path
74              specifies  the  directories  in which the configuration file for
75              the specified format will be sought.  The path can  be  provided
76              as  a single directory or a list of colon separated directories.
77              The default is /usr/local/lib/unrtf/  where  distributed  output
78              configuration files are installed.
79

FILES

81       /usr/local/lib/unrtf/*.conf
82              - run time output configuration files.
83
84       /usr/local/lib/unrtf/SYMBOL.charmap
85              -  UTF  encoding  of  the  SYMBOL  font  used in many RTF files.
86              Unfortunately the iconv package does not include font encodings.
87              The format is identical to iconv code page files.
