Convert RTF to LTX

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.

An LTX file is a LaTeX Document. It contains LaTeX typesetting markup tags and properties that define the document structure and content. Primarily used in academia for creating scientific papers and journal articles, LTX files are plain text documents that can be edited with any text editor, though specialized LaTeX editors like MiKTeX and TeXworks offer helpful syntax highlighting. LaTeX, developed in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport, is widely used for its precision in document formatting.
