Hi,

My resume is written in XML and is available in html, pdf, ps, etc. format. I have this site where it refuse to upload because not in MS-Word or MS-rtf format.

Any idea how I could convert it.

Any idea if xml -> MS-Word format possible? Maybe XML -> Office XML -> then save as MS-Word would be a stragegy?

If it was in docbook, there is docbook2rtf

There is latex2rtf. It's masked but it might do the job :)

Thanks, I will give it a try!

(I was playing with rsync-excludes recently... and let's say I was excluding dev-tex...)

It seg faults (at least on PowerPC, I didn't try on x86).

Anyway, it would probably not generate good rtf because the latex file is not nicely structured.

I found jfor (XSL-PO -> RTF converter) and I am currently working on this strategy:
cv.xml + cv-xsl-fo.xsl -- (xslt processor) --> cv.fo.xml -- (jfor) --> cv.rtf
