<p>I would recommend ted, it's the best light weight app I've found for rtf's.</p> <p><a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/Ted/" rel="nofollow">http://freshmeat.net/projects/Ted/</a></p> <p>In terms of converting them to html, you might look into DocFrac</p> <p>I know it can be used from the cli, and offers rtf2html.</p> <p>Lastly there is a php converter out there called rtf2htm</p> <p>it's located at <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/rtf2htm" rel="nofollow">http://freshmeat.net/projects/rtf2htm</a></p> <p>It doesn't look like it has been developed recently, but it worked when I looked into it.</p> <p>-Rob</p>
