rtftohtml - A Filter to Translate RTF to HTML
RTF is a document formatting language developed by Microsoft. There are
many word processing packages (Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Frame Maker...)
that can read or write RTF format files. rtftohtml was designed
to translate existing RTF documents into HTML - the format of the
World Wide Web. rtftohtml can also be used to
author new documents specifically for the WWW.
The latest version of rtftohtml is 2.5

The filter will export graphics to separate files, but does not convert them to
GIF or XBM format. If you have graphics in your RTF files, you may be
interested in the PBMPLUS package of graphics filters. Included in this package
is a translator for PICT graphics (bitmap PICT's only). The package is located

renders my RTF versions of the documents in a style that is close to what
XMosaic 2.1 displayed (at one time.)
