[Hudlug] html to rtf

[daveyp]

Hiya Anne

There's plently of nice Perl modules for reading/parsing HTML and 
writing to RTF out there - try searches for HTML and RTF on 
www.cpan.org.  A HTML=>RTF parser shouldn't be too hard to knock 
together and there's a good chance than a Perl monger out there might 
have already done it.

As part of my job I've been writing a parser to do the opposite - 
convert RTF into HTML using Perl.  Still not quite 100% there, but 
the RTF spec is a horrible mess these days (points wagging finger in 
Microsofts direction).

If you get stuck for an app, give me a shout and I'll see if I can 
cobble something together.
