ltx2rtf converter

this page last updated on Aug 6, 2002

ltx2rtf, written in C.

Converts LaTeX equations to images (requires emTeX and Ghostscript).

Current version is 5-5. You can get it from ftp://ftp.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/ltx2rtf/. NOTE: Netscape and Opera can not establish the connection to this link, but MS Internet Explorer can. (This may be caused by the fact that the server is Microsoft ftp service on Win2000 or WinXP). If you have such problems, try a plain ftp client instead.

Look here for Daniel's description of his version - although this description is of Sept. 1999 and does not fully describe the features of the current version.

ltx2rtf doesn't handle APA-style references correctly (up to ltx2rtf 5.4; later versions may handle these). So Randall C. O'Reilly wrote a preprocessor which handles APA-stuff and then invokes ltx2rtf to produce rtf output. See ltxapa2rtf.

History:

In 1994 the first Version of LaTeX2rtf was written by a group of students of the Viena University supervised by Ralf Schlatterbeck. They took up a LaTeX parser and added most of the functionality to the program. In 1995 work continued with a second group of students. The result was LaTeX2rtf Version 1.5.

Unfortunately, two different persons started further development of that program, not knowing of each other:

So this page is about Daniel's version.
