DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  program  uunnrrttff  is  a converter from Rich Text Format
       (RTF) to a growing number of document formats.  At present
       it  supports Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), plain text,
       text with VT100 codes, LaTeX, and RTF itself.  It is  pos-
       sible  to produce troff files with macro calls; an example
       configuration for troff and the mm macro package  is  pro-
       vided.   All  output  formats except HTML are "alpha" i.e.
       limited and development  has  just  begun.   However  with
       HTML,  the program supports tables, fonts, hyperlinks, and
       paragraph alignment.  Font support includes face and  size
       changes,  as  well  as  typical attributes such as italic,
       bold,  underlining,  strikethrough,  smallcaps,   allcaps,
       expand,  compress  and both foreground and background col-
       ors.  Images are always stored to separate  files  in  the
       current directory, or they can be ignored.

       Starting  with version 0.21.0, all control of unrtf output
       is through runtime configuration  files.   This  makes  it
       easy  for users to fine-tune the output, and/or define new
       output formats.  The configuration files can be read  from
       the  distributed ones, or from user files, searched for in
       the _c_o_n_f_i_g___s_e_a_r_c_h___p_a_t_h _.  Note that the order  of  the  -P
       and  output  arguments is important.  The search path must
       be set before any argument that will load a  configuration
       file if that file is not in the standard place.

       Code  page conversion is performed with the iconv(3) pack-
       age.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       --nopict
              disables the automatic storing of embedded pictures
              to the current directory.

       --noremap
              disables  charset  conversion (currently only works
              for 8-bit charsets).

       --html selects HTML output (default).

       --rtf  selects RTF  output.   The  resulting  output  will
              often be much smaller than the input.

       --text selects plain ASCII text output.

       --vt   selects text output with VT100 escape codes.

       --latex
              selects output of a LaTeX document.

       --verbose
              prints additional information.

       --quiet
              suppress output of leading comments

       --version
              prints the program version.

       -t tags_file
              specifies  the tags output configuration file to be
              used.  The command "unrtf -t html" is  functionally
              identical  to  "unrtf  --html".   The configuration
              files are a simple format.  To change the behaviour
              of  unrtf,  a  local copy of a system configuration
              file can be be made and edited.  The most  complete
              configuration  file  and  hence  the  best starting
              point is /dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf/html.conf.

       -P config_search_path
              specifies the directories in which  the  configura-
              tion  file for the specified format will be sought.
              The path can be provided as a single directory or a
              list  of  colon separated directories.  The default
              is  /dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf  where   distributed
              output configuration files are installed.

FFIILLEESS
       /dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf/*.conf
              - run time output configuration files.

       /dev/env/DJDIR/share/unrtf/SYMBOL.charmap
              -  UTF encoding of the SYMBOL font used in many RTF
              files.  Unfortunately the iconv  package  does  not
              include font encodings.  The format is identical to
              iconv code page files.
