.Sh NAME
.Nm rtfx
.Nd converts RTF to a generic XML format
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl pw
.Op Ar inrtf
.Op Ar outxml
.Nm
.Fl v
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
converts RTF files into a generic XML format. It majors on keeping meta data like style 
names, etc... rather than every bit of formatting. This makes it handy for converting 
RTF documents into a custom XML format (using XSL or an additional processing step).
.Pp
The output format is documented on the rtfx website (below). There are two slight 
variations of output format. The normal mode contains content type data with 
formatting that has content relevance (such as bold or underline). The 
presentation format adds some more formatting/presentation tags (such as fonts or colors). 
.Sh OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl p
Puts
.Nm 
into 'presentation' output mode.

.It Fl w

.It Ar inrtf
The RTF file to convert. If not specified reads from stdin.
.It Ar outxml
