sgml2rtf1

Create rtf output from a linuxdoc dtd sgml source file

Usage

sgml2rtf [generic_option ...] [--twosplit] file [.sgml]

Overview

sgml2rtf is an old and obsoleted form of the rtf converter command of LinuxDoc-Tools (its name may be misleading, as it is not a tool for any SGML DTD, only supports the SGML LinuxDoc DTD). It is recommended to switch the new form linuxdoc -B rtf now. It converts a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file to RTF, the Rich Text Tormat used by the Microsoft Windows help system. Output will appear in the top level file file.rtf and file-n.rtf for each section, where file is the name of the SGML source file. The RTF output is tailored for compilation by the Windows Help Compiler (hc31.exe).

The attribute/value pair "output=rtf" is set for conditionals.

Options

sgml2rtf accepts all the generic options described in linuxdoc(1),and:

--twosplit, -2

Splits files both at n. sections and n.m. subsections

file

The SGML source file, named either file or file.sgml

Files

Many files and executables in /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools and /usr/bin are used.
