Question

What is the best solution for converting RichTextFormat info to HTML in C#?

I know there are libraries out there that do this, and I was curious to see if you guys had any advice as to which ones are the better ones.

Thanks, Jeff

Answer 1

I recently used a rtf to html coverter that worked great, called DocFrac.

It can be used with a gui to convert files, but it also is a dll.

I converted over 400 rtf files to html in a few minutes so performance is good too. I used the gui so I don't have the details on the dll. According to the site the DLL works with .NET however.

ScroogeXHTML, a small library for RTF to HTML / XHTML conversion, might be useful. However it only supports a subset of the RTF standard. For reports with tables and other advanced layout, there are other libraries like the Logictran R2Net converter.

I recommend the SautinSoft's RTF-to-HTML DLL .Net, it's C# component to convert:

• RTF to HTML 3.2, 4.01 + CSS, XHTML
• Text to HTML
• RTF to Text

This is a sample code to convert in memory:

Dim r As New SautinSoft.RtfToHtml.Converter()
Dim rtf As String = "{\rtf {\b bold text {\i bold + italic}} and plan text}"
Dim html As String = r.ConvertString(rtf)
