You need a program (such as Word) that reads the RTF markup and renders=
 its
content on screen. Simply open your RTF file with Word and you are done=
.

RTF is a rather limited language that obviously compares badly with TeX=
.
Furthermore, there is no X that solves your equation.

By the way, there are some (rather expermimental) programs that transal=
te a
subset of LaTeX to RTF and vice-versa. Search for ``LaTeX2RTF'' in the =
Net
and you'll find it.

RTF is presentation markup (such as TeX), not logical markup (such as
LaTeX).

Antonio,

thanks. I see it (I need to open it by a text editor which don't unders=
tand
 .rtf, don't I? I mean, I am unable to see it as a markup text file fro=
m
within Word).

More general question: How does this Microsoft markup language compare =
with
TeX? Also is there an X such that: TeX : LaTeX as Microsof-markup-lng :=
 X?

my best wishes
mario

Still, I don't see my file.rtf as a markup text file.
