Usage: xml2rtf [OPTIONs] [FILEs]
Converts a XML-file into Microsofts(R) "Rich Text Format" (RTF).

 -h, --help      display this help and exit
 --verbose       be verbose
 -d, --dump      write output to STDOUT
 --libxslt       use Perls XML::LibXSLT library
 --xsltproc      use the external program "xsltproc"

If no XML-file is specified, the program reads from STDIN.
If no XSLT-stylesheet is specified, the program uses a build-in default stylesheet.
If no RTF-filename is specified, the program creates a filename from the filename of the XML-file and appends ".rtf" (or, if input is taken from STDIN, it outputs to STDOUT).

Examples:
xml2rtf                 reads XML from STDIN and writes RTF to STDOUT.
xml2rtf name.xml        reads "name.xml" and writes output to "name.rtf".
xml2rtf name.xml --dump reads "name.xml" and writes output to STDOUT.

Tags:
The build-in stylesheet recognizes the following tags:
 <document>             encloses the whole document
 <document format="FORMAT"> uses FORMAT ("a4" or "letter")
 <p>                    paragraph
 <p align="ALIGNMENT">  paragraph, aligned left, right, centered or justified
 <i>                    italics
 <b>                    bold
 <ul>                   underlined
 <strike>               strike through
 <caps>                 all caps
 <smallcaps>            all caps with lowercase in smaller caps
 <outline>              outline font
 <font face="FONTNAME"> use font FONTNAME
 <font color="COLOR">   use color COLOR (standard HTML/CSS-names are recognized)
 <font size="POINTS">   use size POINTS (standard is 12)
