Command: unrtf
UNRTF is a moderately complicated converter from RTF to other
formats. Bugs are known to include paragraph alignment and picture
storing. The actual version (0.21.5) has problems with ".cfg" but
works with ".con" instead of ".conf"
Syntax:
unrtf [--version] [--verbose] [--help] [--nopict|-n] [--noremap]
[--html] [--text] [--vt] [--latex] [--rtf] [-P config_search_path]
[-t <file_with_tags>] <filename>
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 /dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf/html.conf.
-P config_search_path
Specifies the directories in which the configura-
tion 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 /dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf/ where distributed
output configuration files are installed.
/dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf/*.conf
Run time output configuration files.
/dev/env/DJDIR/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.
-h or --help Shows the help.

Examples:
Step 01:
Install UNRTF via FDIMPLES -> UTILITIES -> UNRTF. As alternative you
can execute the command (if network is started):
fdnpkg install unrtf
Step 02:
Rename the .cfg files to con:
ren C:\UTIL\UNRTF\CONF\*.cfg *.con
cd C:\UTIL\UNRTF
Now you can use unrtf in two different ways:
- Create a new file:
unrtf -P /dev/c/util/unrtf/conf --html > test.htm
(Comment: "/dev/c" - NOT "C:\" =Unix style!)
Press ENTER and then enter a text, e.g. this one:
This is an example for creating a simple html text.\ (\=line feed)
Press CTRL-Z and you will see a text in html format.\
CTRL-Z + ENTER exits
- Change an rtf file to an html file:
unrtf -P /dev/c/util/unrtf/conf --html filename.rtf > filename.htm
(Comment: "/dev/c" - NOT "C:\" =Unix style!)
