About:
Latex2rtf is a translator that converts LaTeX documents into the Rich Text Format (RTF). It allows users to create documents in LaTeX and share them with recipients using common word processors like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. The tool handles formatting, equations, images, and cross-references to preserve the document's structure.

Key Features:

Support for LaTeX commands, equations, and cross-references
Handles embedded graphics and external image files
Support for multiple languages and bibliographic citations
Command-line interface for batch processing and automation

Use Cases:

Sharing academic papers or technical documentation with users who do not have LaTeX installed
Converting LaTeX manuscripts to a format editable by standard office software
Automating document conversion in build pipelines

Alternatives:

Pandoc – Pandoc is a more versatile universal document converter that supports a wider range of input and output formats, whereas latex2rtf is specifically optimized for LaTeX to RTF conversion.
TeX4ht – TeX4ht is part of the TeX Live distribution and focuses on converting TeX to HTML/XML, though it can also generate ODT formats which can be opened in Word.
