I searched and surprisingly did not find the answer. I have an
rtf document that I have open in BBEdit 11.1.4 . I want to see
the document like I do in TextEdit as a properly formatted
document without the formatting visible. Preview does not do
it correctly. In preview I still get the formatting code.
I work with .rtf for some custom outputs from my software. But
to see it rendered, I open the file in TextEdit, Nisus Writer
Pro, or MS Word.
The thing is, BBEdit is a text editor, not a formatting word
processor. So there's no way for it to render RTF.
BBEdit does have built-in HTML rendering for its Preview
command. I suppose you could submit a feature request for
similar RTF rendering. Probably wouldn't get very high on the
devs' list, though ...
Some of the scripting adepts on this list could probably bang
out a way to open your .rtf file in a word processor - lookin'
at you, Christopher :). The script could be assigned a keyboard
combo; could even include a "Save" command for the .rtf file
just before opening it for preview in the word processor. That
way your keyboard combo would let you both save and preview in
one action.
