How can I process RTF-encoded files and convert them to XML?

Question

I never did a huge amount of RTF processing, I always used the library to read or generate one, and that was a long time ago. Now I need to adapt to the format again and eventually convert it to XML.

Can you recommend a good way to do this so that I have a lot of control over the analysis and processing of RTF fragments?

Initially, I think Perl plus some good libraries would be a good choice, but all opinions are welcome.

Answer 1

RTF Guide ? Seriously though, fast google reveals all kinds of tools and libraries. Why reinvent the wheel?

Answer 2

ScroogeXHTML, a library for converting RTF to HTML / XHTML, is available for the Java (tm) and Delphi platforms. Demo version and online API documentation are available on this page:
