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  colors.   Images are always stored to separate files in the current directory, 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 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 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.
