Hi Ramana, Firs thing would be to decide on where to put the code eg. org.apache.fop.rtf.*
It would appear that this area hasn't been documented much (there are some emails). A summary: - these types of formats (RTF, MIF) do not need the layout process - there is a StructureHandler that receives events from the FO Tree while it is being created (start, end) - the MIFHandler extends the StructureHandler to create a MIF Document by using the start document, end document, start page sequence, end pagesequence etc. to build the document and place the contents inside. This only has a start of an implementation but the RTFHandler would probably do the same sort of things. - the structure of the document is received through the FO Tree from the SAX events, the markup properties are resolved using the property stuff on the FO Tree. I don't know anything about RTF but I believe this should make it all possible. So I suggest you look in apps.StructureHandler and mif.MIFHandler, keep in mind this is only a start of the implementation. Sort out the JFor code, packages and get it compiling. Implement a start to a RTFHandler that will create the RTF document and some simple things. If you have any more questions, fire away. This area could do with some documentation. Keiron.
