I have my doubts about whatever "RTF" Word produces....I can do things in
there that I don't think are legally RTF. And, whereas Word warns you
about possible loss of formatting when you go to, say, HTML from DOC it
doesn't do so going to RTF.
It may be that they are using a more recent RTF - I think there is RTF 1
and 2 - but I suspect (without having checked), that it is just more of
the same "improving" on standards.
Like many, I have found RTF to be a fairly good format for transferring
files across platforms. It's a bit richer than HTML (since it is intended
to be a text formatting language rather than just a presentation language
like HTML), and yet still a standard. Now if we could convince people not
to muck it up with proprietary "improvements."
Does anyone have an URL for a good introduction to hand-coding RTF just
like there are for HTML? A brief summary of legal codes, etc...
I'm also on the lookout for a compact Linux command line editor that
produces RTF and uses shortcut keys like Wordstar.
