    Hi,

    I try to create a rich text editor. I have to get string in Rich Text format but QTextBrowser provides only
    plainText or HTML. Does a way exist to get RTF string or must I convert HTML to RTF ?
    thanks,

    Sorry for my horrible english

      Hi
      What do you mean by RTF ?
      The html format you get back is RTF
      but its not ms RTF from 1987
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format

      The RTF used is

        I use the library teigha to manipulate dwg file.
        In dwg text entities are unfortunately coded in RTF.
        So to create these entities I'm make a text editor.

            The text object is filled with a RTF string.
            This string can contains info about color, font (bold italic underlined family etc.)
            abd alignment.

              Maybe you ccan re-use a parser and add support to QTextBrowser .
              It sounds like its the good old RTF so its other format.
