Converts an rtf document to html, text or latex. Output in html is recommended
because unrtf has limited support for converting between character encodings
which is problematic for non-ascii text.
Usage
unrtf(file = NULL, format = c("html", "text", "latex"), verbose = FALSE,
conf_dir = NULL)Arguments
- file
path or url to the 'rtf' file
- format
output format, must be "text", "html" or "latex"
- verbose
print some output to stderr
- conf_dir
use a custom dir with
.conffiles which serve as output templates.
Details
Output can be customized via a set of .conf files which serve as templates for
the various formats. The default conf files are located in system.file("share", package = "unrtf")
To modify the output, copy these files to a custom location and set pass the
directory as the conf_dir argument in unrtf.
Examples
library(unrtf)
text <- unrtf("https://jeroen.github.io/files/sample.rtf", format = "text")
html <- unrtf("https://jeroen.github.io/files/sample.rtf", format = "html")
cat(text)
