RTF is junk, sigh. :-)))
Well, those one dealing with MS probably know there are some differences even
between Word95/RTF and Word97/RTF, so why to bother?
Postscript? No, please, I have installed last GhostView and printer support is -
well, terrible. I will not speak for the display, as the letters are pretty ugly.
1) So, pdf is OK, it's small, efficient, and while maybe proprietary, still the
output is very nice. btw I think .pdf is regarded being standard now. We had
problem when we published our company economical results in .pdf, as one manager
told us - hey, what's that .pdf, I want .doc. So we translated it back to doc and
let him download it via the slow modem connection. Well, .pdf is back on our site
;-)
2) HTML is also OK.
3) We have REBOL, with nice expressibility. Let's see what REBOL/Media is about
to bring and maybe we can introduce own document rendering mechanisms? Just a
thought ...
