Trying to run the code, was able to open the rtf
document in word. But when run the linux command
line, --from-rtf <filename.rtf> --to-text
<filename.txt> I get segmentation fault. I tried
other rtf documents, and it worked.

So I took a look at the text of the rtf document,
turns out that the document didn't have matching
starting { and ending }.

The code in RtfReader.cpp, does a pop of the stack.
This would take a segmentation fault, if the stack is
empty.
I thought this would not be a valid rtf document, but
apparently word doesn't care, so it is.

So I changed RtfReader.cpp to check

case '}':

if (! rtfStack->empty() )
{

//rest of the code

And that seemed to work.

A number of memory tracking errors may result in memory

This does not apply to the DLL or ActiveX platforms.

When run under Windows, version 3.1.2a complains that
CG32.dll is missing. This appears to be Borland's
CodeGuard DLL. (No idea what it actually does.) It's
also possible it might complain about missing runtime
library DLLs if it got that far. Version 3.1.1 of
course does not have the same problem.

RtfStyle has a nasty bug in the method
setForegroundColour()

The developer decided to check on the index of the
color to the size of the table, but someone forgot that
the size of the table could be 0, so assuming that the
table is populated, they go ahead and check and check
the index of that table.

There should be a condition check that
if (redTable->size() != 0)
{
....continue

This caused a segmentation fault on Linux, and we added
this code to get it working

RTF reader ignores tabs from the RTF.

This is the behaviour as designed. The problem is that
HTML can use a tab as 9 spaces but not as an indent.

Resolution: use an indent tag of some description to
acheive the desired effect. e.g. <div indent=nnnn>Blah
blah blah</div>

The linux version of the command hangs, it's because in
RtfReader.cpp, there is some code that checks for the
level of the open bracket { and close bracket }.
The method is commandIgnoreDestinationKeyword.
It is possible that in an RTF page, that the opening
bracket is present, but not the closing bracket. So we
added code that checks for the character to be a new
line \n, if it is, decrement the level. This assumes
that the closing bracket has been supplied and the

Thank you first from the bottom of our hearts for
making the cute tool and releasing under LGPL.

We were thinking of using your "rtf conversion
component" in one of our university project which
retrieves html data through SOAP protocol and inserts
into a rtf text box for editing. After editing, it
sends the rtf data (converted to html) back to the
server module.

We have prepared a parser, which is not working
properly. Your parser works well except the fact that
it can't handle unicode data. I was trying to hack the
codes to include the support for unicode. But my
project is not giving me much time.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Characters which are non-ASCII are thrown away when
writing to a text file.

There is no way around this while we write to an ASCII
file.

There are some other options for file formats:

• mapping to a code page (e.g. ANSI)
• quoted printable (same as email)
• UTF8
• Straight Unicode

From a design perspective this could be achieved by
creating maps from a single unicode character to one or
more bytes.

There could be a map for:

• ASCII
• ANSI
• iso8859 standards
• UTF8
• straight unicode

The map need not be static. It may be dynamic. For
example the ASCII map may allow through all character
codes with a unicode value less than 0x0080.

There must be a process for when a unicode character is
not mappable using the current map.
