what is the best way to convert rtf documents into html?

My semantic net knows three programs that can read RTF.

o :concept/software/majix %
o :concept/software/RTF2FO %
o :concept/software/ScroogeXHTML %

As one can see there, this includes at least two that are
available as Java libraries.

An RTF document is written with Java as follows.

new java,io.FileWriter( "example.rtf" ).
append( "{\\rtf\\ansi Hi!\\par}" ).close();

Open it in Word, and then save as HTML? Ofcourse word produces
TERRIBLE HTML.

Then again , RTF is designed as a style markup, and HTML is desiged as
a semantic markup. They aren't exactly compatible. Most people can
see RTF, anyway, why convert to HTML? Perhaps you'd be better off
converting to PDF, if you're really concerned about webability.

Daniel,

I need to display the rtf document in browsers with other texts thus pdf is
not an option.
