Description

Usage

install.LaTeX2RTF(
  page_with_download_url = "http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/",
  ...
)

Arguments

page_with_download_url	the URL of the SWFTools download page.

Details

Latex2rtf tries to convert your LaTeX file into a RTF file for opening in Microsoft Word. The general idea is to try and get the things that computers are good at correct: character conversion, graphic conversion, etc. Page layout suffers because control in RTF is pretty pathetic compared to TeX. Consequently, it is likely that manual reformatting will be needed.

Value

TRUE/FALSE - was the installation successful or not.
