unrtf: Convert rtf Documents

In unrtf: Extract Text from Rich Text Format (RTF) Documents

Convert rtf Documents

Description

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)
