ltx2rtf converter

this page last updated on March 07, 2007

ltx2rtf, written in C.

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

Latest version is 5-5. Since its features were fully merged into latex2rtf, it was no longer developed.

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.

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:

• In 1997, Daniel Taupin started updating this converter. He added e.g. the feature to convert equations to bitmaps by invoking the TeX engine. However this required the emTeX distribution (for DOS) which is no longer supported.
• In 1998, Georg Lehner found the reference to the original LaTeX2rtf on this webpage and added some functionality. Unfortunately he did not know about Daniel's developments.

So this page is about Daniel's version.
