Imbedding HTML in a Document

Normally, if your RTF document contained the text "<cite>hello</cite>", the translator would output this as: "&lt;cite&gt;hello&lt;/cite&gt;". This ensures that the text would appear in your HTML output exactly as it appeared in the original RTF document. If, however, you want the <cite></cite> to be interpreted as HTML markup, you must format the tags using Hidden and Shadow or Hidden and Strikethrough. The filter will then send the tags through without translation. It is also possible to use the paragraph style "HTML" to let rtftohtml interpret a whole paragraph as being literal HTML.

When the rtftohtml filter produces HTML markup, it keeps track of the nesting level of tags to ensure that you don't get something like <b><cite>hello</b></cite> which would be incorrect markup. If you imbed HTML markup in your document, the filter will NOT be aware of it. You must ensure that your markup appears correctly nested.

If you wish to modify the formatting for imbedded HTML, you need to change the entry in html-trans that specifies "_Literal".
