Do you want to (a) create RTF files programmatically and/or display RTF files

with the FPC rtfpars unit and an external word processor.
At one stage (long ago when I worked with Kylix) I needed something
like (b). A richtext component, but have no need for it in my current
projects.
Though I can see some uses for it in Lazarus.
* Editing FPDoc documentation using 'lazde' and having a richedit
component for the descriptions would be nice. The richedit component
could have a swapable backend for saving to different formats like the
xml needed in the documentation. No need for anybody wanting to
create documentation to learn the fpdoc formatting tags. Just type,
highlight text and click whatever formatting you want to apply (like
all other word processors).
* Help Viewer for when Lazarus one day has a cross platform help
file (like .chm or .hlp).
You get the idea...
