[sc-users] rtf2html

[Atte André Jensen]

Hi

I became so frustrated over the clumsy handling of rtf under linux, that 
I wrote the attached python script. It's quick'n'dirty but it's a start, 
and I'm gonna polish off the rough edges as they annoy me.

The first problem is how to identify links. How is that handled in rtf 
under mac? Is any occurence of "Stream" a link to "Stream.rtf" or is 
there a special markup for this?

Basically cd to the supercollider/Help directory and run the script. It 
will create a directory named "html" under current directory where all 
output is placed. It assumes you have "unrtf" (and python obviously) 
installed...
