If you've ever tried to code an RTF table... Sorry, but the RTF
table syntax is seriously, seriously horrible to the point of
being almost unusable. (One index of how horrible it is: a
slightly mal-formed RTF table can easily crash any Microsoft
Office application. Yes, crash it, not just have the table
rejected.) I really don't want to go there, but if any other brave
soul is willing then we'll entertain patches.
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)?
