Parse RTF and write output as an HTML file (written specifically for InDesign generated RTF, but works for any source)

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.
