To me this sounds like a typical don't-reinvent-the-wheel thing. There
must be some conversion tool out there that does this. Maybe with the
help of latex an enhanced RTF-export could be offered (only if latex is
present on the system, of course)?
Hmm, latex2rtf might be usable in this context. It wouldn't
require latex itself; gretl could write a simplified latex table
and pass it through latex2rtf. That program is quite bulky but I
suppose we'd only need a fairly small subset of its functionality,
if it's not too tiresome to strip out the subset we need.
