Sample rtftohtml Style Sheet
This is a sample style sheet produced by Microsoft Word on the Macintosh. It is designed to demonstrate the various styles that I use. Of course, you can define your own style sheets and use your own style names - but this should be a useful example to get you started. The latest version of this document and other information about RTFtoHTML is kept at http://www.sunpack.com/RTF. You may contact the author: Chris Hector at chris@sunpack.com

Here is an address
<blockquote>Following is blockquote text
Here is a block quote. Just how long do you thing this should be? I don't know - just keep typing until eventually you fill up several lines.
<hr> Following is a paragraph containing no text - it generates an <hr> markup

Text markup
Bold
Italic
Underline
Hidden Text - the text between the parenthesis will be discarded by the filter ()
Monospaced fonts like courier will go to <tt>
Features
This is a footnote ..
This is a Picture  which will be either inlined or linked to by an HREF.
This is a picture that will be used as the "HOT" part of a hypertext link.
This is a manually generated hypertext link to an external document.
This is a hypertext link to a somewhere else within the same document. This was created with a copy/paste-link.
This is another hypertext link to a target somewhere else within the same document. This was created manually and the target name must be as well.
This is a table	This table has four columns and each column will be translated into a <pre> block that roughly approximates this layout	right justified	centered text	
This is the second row of the same table.	Hows it look?	Good?	Bad?	
The following text This is Literal HTMLHTML as well - but uses the <b>HTML</b>paragraph style, and is therefore more readable.
Lists
In order to create the illusion of nesting within an RTF document, we need to create a separate style for each level of indentation. I chose 6 as the maximum level of nesting that I care about, but rtftohtml can support as many as you want. This yeilds "ol", "ol 1", "ol 2", ... ,"ol 5". Now, in addition we have another issue with lists. The HTML bullet and numbered lists will prepend a bullet or number to your text. If you already have a bullet or number, you have three options:
1)	Translate your list elements to the HTML <dl> markup, which allows you to preserve the numbers or bullets that you are using in the RTF form of the document. This results in some pretty ugly display using Mosaic.
2)	Strip off the bullet or number, and translate those list items to <ol> or <ul>. This is the recommended option.
3)	Don't use any markers in the RTF form of the document and translate to <ol> and <ul>.

Both of these options exist with the rtftohtml filter, and I have default styles for each. In order that the filter can decide where a bullet or number ends, we need a separator. The filter expects a tab character to be used. It is REALLY important that if you are using styles that remove you markers that a tab be present (or you will lose the whole list element.) You also MUST have a tab character for styles (like the <dl>) that have two parts . 

Another technique for lists (particularly glossaries) to be entered with the TERM on one line, and an indented definition on the following line. These are discussed below.

Here are the sample TAB separated lists:

Ordered List styles
1.	level zero element - my markers stripped - This is the recommended style.
1.1	level one element - my markers stripped - This is the recommended style.
1.1.1	level two element - my markers stripped - This is the recommended style.
Un-Ordered List styles
•	level zero element - my markers stripped - This is the recommended style.
o	level one element - my markers stripped - This is the recommended style.
.	level two element - my markers stripped - This is the recommended style.
Glossary styles
This is areasonably large term	Here is the definition of the term. Of course this format is used for more than just definitions.

Dir styles
level zero dir item each 	is less than 20 chars long	and separated by tabs  or	parmarks	and these show up	in my docs as three
columns
level one dir item each 	is less than 20 chars long	and separated by tabs
level two dir item each 	is less than 20 chars long	and separated by tabs
Menu styles
level zero element 
level one element 
level two element 
Multi-Line lists
In some cases, you want lists to span lines. An example of this is glossaries, where the term appears on one line and the definition on another. In this case, the TERM will be defined with one style, and the DEFinition with another.
Here are some samples:
The first TERM
The definition for the first term
A nested TERM
The definition for the nested term
A level two TERM
The corresponding definition.

This is the target of a hypertext link. This target was created by copying the text and pasting a link to it. 
This is another  target of a hypertext link.. This was created by formatting some text as hidden/outline.
