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 .conf files 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)
