Hi, thanks for the pointers. I am aware the the RtfParser makes some assumptions about the format of the RTF document. I know that this is something I will have to change and make it more flexible to be in higher compliance with the specification.
I don't know what modifications you are making to the RtfParser class, but any
modifications that fix some of these bugs, it would be nice if you could
contribute them back.
I'm just swamped with work, so any help is gladly accepted. Thank you :-).
Greetings,
Mark
