Hello Alexei and thanks for your reply. I think RTF parser is pretty interesting task. I'm going to read more information about it tomorrow.
Could you please advise me useful docs about RTF? 2008/3/26, Alexei Zakharov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Let me give a little bit more explanations about the tasks I've just > mentioned.
