About:
Rtf2Latex2e is a robust conversion utility designed to translate documents from Rich Text Format (RTF) into LaTeX 2e source code. It parses the formatting and structure of RTF files and generates corresponding LaTeX markup, preserving elements like fonts, styles, tables, and equations. This tool is invaluable for users looking to migrate legacy documents into a modern, high-quality typesetting environment.

Key Features:

Preserves document structure including sections, lists, and tables
Handles font and style attributes like bold, italic, and underline
Converts embedded equations and special characters
Command-line interface for batch processing and scripting

Use Cases:

Migrating legacy documents from word processors to a LaTeX workflow
Automating the conversion of RTF reports into a standardized academic format
Integrating RTF-to-LaTeX conversion into a document build pipeline

Alternatives:

Pandoc – A universal document converter that supports many more formats but may be less specialized for complex RTF-to-LaTeX nuances.
UnRTF – Converts RTF to other formats like HTML or text, but does not directly produce LaTeX.
