Tex2RTF is a program written by Julian Smart (julian.smart@ukonline.co.uk) to convert from a LaTeX subset to four other formats:

• Linear RTF, for importing into a wide range of word processors.
• Windows Help hypertext RTF, for compilation with HC (Help Compiler).
• HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), as used on the World Wide Web.
• XLP wxHelp format (the wxWindows toolkit help format).

Once in MS Word RTF format, other formats can be generated, such as PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF generation requires MS Word and the full, commercial version of Acrobat.

Tex2RTF parses a 'reasonable' subset of LaTeX, notable blind spots being the tabbing environment and maths. However, don't expect to translate your LaTeX files immediately with no alteration of your source files, since the objective is more to have a portable document source language than to convert old LaTeX files.

Tex2RTF has been made freely available with no commercial restrictions.
