(Best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer: select Sync Toc button and browse on down for the rest of the book.)

To convert RTF to HTML, the easiest way is to read into Microsoft Word, then Save As an HTML file. The two formats are not conducive to exact equivalent conversion, but a limited subset of both might not be to bad.

My approach is to always start with GBF, then convert to plain ASCII, RTF, HTML, etc.
