Hi, is there any practical solution to convert a context-document into a rtf-document? (Unfortunately I must send my documents to word users :-( ) I do not need a perfect rtf file. It would be sufficient if the footnotes and headings would be tranformed. (Layout / Tabells etc are not so important) I've read the FAQ and I know there is no tool like latex2rtf. In 2005 (five years ago) there was a approach to the problem on the mailing list, which suggest to write the document in xml and the produce on pdf and one html file. Is this a practical solution or is it, if you have absolute no idea about xml like me, a to time consuming approach? I've also tried some free pdftortf tools, but so far the results were disillusioning :-(. I am open for any suggestions ;-). Greetings FloMo
This tool seems to be doing that job, though I have never used it.

You can try other starting formats like markdown instead of xml, but AFAIK there is no reliable TeX to anything conversion tools, all are hacks with different degrees of complexity. I'm not sure what is wrong with just sending them PDFs, if the text is to be edited, than how RTF will work bidirectionally? -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

Acrobat (Pro) can save PDF contents as RTF (not good, but perhaps enough), maybe other PDF tools can, too? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
