Introduction to UnRTF

UnRTF is a command-line program written in C which converts documents in Rich Text Format (.rtf) to HTML, LaTeX, PostScript, and other formats. Converting to HTML, it supports a number of features of Rich Text Format:

• Changes in the text's font, size, weight (bold), and slant (italic)
• Underlines and strikethroughs
• Partial support for text shadowing, outlining, embossing, or engraving
• Capitalizations
• Superscripts and subscripts
• Expanded and condensed text
• Changes in the foreground and background colors
• Conversion of special characters to HTML entities

Recent development has concentrated on conversion to HTML, as it can in turn be converted to other formats. Support for features when converting to other file formats using unrtf varies.

Downloading UnRTF

UnRTF can be found here <Last release 0.20.5>, or <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/unrtf/>, or one of our FTP mirrors.
