<H1>ltx2rtf converter </H1>
 
<P>this page last updated on Aug 6, 2002</P>
 
<P>ltx2rtf, written in C. </P>
 
<P>Converts LaTeX equations to images (requires emTeX and Ghostscript). </P>
 
<P>Current version is 5-5. You can get it from
<A
 HREF="ftp://ftp.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/ltx2rtf/">ftp://ftp.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/ltx2rtf/</A>.
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.</P>
 
<P>Look <A HREF="ltx2rtf3.html">here</A> 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.</P>
 
<P>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
<A
 HREF="http://psych.colorado.edu/~oreilly/misc_software.html#ltxapa2rtf">ltxapa2rtf</A>.

<H3>History:</H3>
 
<P> 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. </P>
 
<P>Unfortunately, two different persons started further development of that
program, not knowing of each other:</P>
 
<UL>
<LI>In 1997, Daniel Taupin started updating this converter, and still is
maintaining his version. </LI>
<LI> In 1998, Georg Lehner found the reference to the original LaTeX2rtf on
this webpage, added some functionality and still is maintaining his version.
Unfortunately he did not know about Daniel's developments.</LI>
</UL>
 
<P>So <B>this page is about Daniel's version</B>.</P>
