+latex2rtf is a translator program to convert LaTeX formatted text files into
+"rich text format" (RTF) files. RTF is a published standard format by
+Microsoft. This standard can be ambiguous in places, but RTF is supported by
+many text editors. Specifically, it is supported by Microsoft Word. This means
+that the conversion of a LaTeX document to RTF allows anyone with a copy of
+Word to convert LaTeX files to Word .doc or .docx files.
+
+Features
+
+- Conversion of a wide range of input encodings
+- Conversion of equations (unfortunately using the broken Microsoft
+ implementation of EQ fields)
+- Conversion of tables
+- Conversion of graphics
+- Conversion of cross-references
+- Conversion of bibliographies
+
+latex2rtf translates the text and as much of the formatting information from
+LaTeX to RTF. Be forewarned that the typeset output is not nearly as good as
+what you would get from using LaTeX directly.
