Yes, actually that is the way I meant "rich text" in my original post. 
Whether it's M$'s RTF or ant other similar format, I don't care. Even an 
HTML-like format would be nice. 

The benefits of WYSIWYG should not be overlooked, I believe.

WYSIWYG is useful not only for seeing what the output will be, but also for 
having the stored info accessible in an immediate visual way. That is, even 
when you don't need to print it out or to export it. A PIM-oriented use of 
Leo will greatly benefit from a rich text format, because a lot of the text 
that you store will need to be underlined, highlighted, etc. Another 
valuable text format is the strikethrough.
All these text formats, which are a given in the world of modern computing, 
do have real benefits. It's not just a matter of wanting rich text for 
using fancy fonts...

Cheers
