💖 TC2RTF(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to tc2rtf, section 1 of the manual, general commands, we love a classic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tc2rtf — convert troffcvt output to Rich Text Format

✨ SYNTAX ✨

tc2rtf [ options ] file ...  ]

(yes the extra ] is really there, don't @ me, it's canon 💅)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So tc2rtf is a postprocessor for troffcvt, and what it does is take troffcvt output and turn it into Rich Text Format (RTF). icon behaviour fr fr. 🫶

Most of the time you're not even calling it yourself — it's usually invoked by running the troffcvt front end troff2rtf. let the front end do the talking, she's the main character. 👑

tc2rtf understands the following options:

  • -D — turn on debugging output. chaos mode: enabled 🔥
  • -E — makes tc2rtf echo token information to stderr as tokens are read from troffcvt. very "narrating my own life" of her 💀
  • -T title — specify a title for the document. use this for documents that don't contain any recognizable title. and if the document does contain a title? yeah, this overrides it. sorry babe, -T said what it said 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read those too, they're the whole friend group 💜

💅 WHO-TO-BLAME 💅

Paul DuBois, dubois@primate.wisc.edu. if anything's cursed, it's a him problem, not a you problem 🎀

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so real talk: tc2rtf uses a set of special macros that tell troffcvt how to generate tc2rtf-specific output indicating RTF structural elements.

the catch: these macros do not work in compatibility mode. no cap. if you're in compatibility mode, they simply do not slay. 😭

and that's the whole page bestie!! this is TC2RTF(1) from the General Commands Manual — go forth and convert, you absolute icon 🧚💖 ⭐
