latex2rtf is a translator program that translates LaTeX formatted
documents into RTF formatted files. RTF (Rich Text Format) is a
common mark-up used by various text processors, most notably Word.
For the Copyright of the Program see the file Copyright.
latex2rtf does not require a TeX implementation, nor does it require
that ImageMagick be installed. However, latex2rtf does make use of
the auxilary files created by LaTeX and BibTeX --- specifically the
.aux and .bbl files if they are available. Latex2rtf will convert
equations to bitmaps with the right set of options. This facility
requires that both a working TeX implementation as well as a working
installation of ImageMagick. Finally, translation of figures is
greatly facilitated by the presence of ImageMagick.
To install (on a UNIX system)
- Make sure that you have installed the developer tools for your system
- Edit Makefile for your local configuration. The default install
is reasonable, but if you do not have root access, then you might
need to set $PREFIX to be your home directory.
- make
- If this is not your first-time installation, you may want to preserve
your old configuration (*.cfg) files. Copy them to a safe place before
installing.
- make check (expect warnings but no errors)
- make install
If all this is too much trouble, you can install using fink
http://fink.sourceforge.net/
or as an i-installer package
