rtfToHtml

Converts RTF files into HTML.

This tool has been developed to convert RTF output from Adobe InDesign into (almost) pixel perfect formatted HTML output.

It supports the following features:

• newline (/par)
• tabs (/tab)
• right-aligned tabs (/tqr)
• tab-stops (/tx)
• left-indent (/li)
• colors (/colortbl, /red, /blue, /green, /cf)
• font-names (/fonttbl)
• font-size (/fs)
• bold (/b)
• italic (/i)
• text-alignment (/gl, /gc, /gr)
• paper size (/paperw, /paperh)
• margins (/margl, /margr, /margt, /margb)

The program itself consists of two parts:

• A parser (converts RTF into a JSON data-structure)
• A formatter (currently only HTML output is supported)

Both can be easily extended to add new features and handling of additional RTF control codes.
