NAME

       UnRTF - converts document in RTF format to other formats

SYNOPSIS

       unrtf [options] [file...]

       Options: [--nopict] [--noremap] [--html] [--text] [--vt] [--rtf] [--latex] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet]
       [--version] [-P config_search_path] [-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 .

       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/local/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/local/share/unrtf/ where distributed output configuration files are installed.

FILES

       /usr/local/share/unrtf/*.conf
              - run time output configuration files.

       /usr/local/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.
