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

Question

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

I know that there are libraries that do this, and I was curious to find out if you guys have any advice on which ones are better.

Thanks Jeff

Answer 1

I recently used RTF for HTML conRTverter, which worked fine under the name DocFrac.

It can be used with a graphical interface to convert files, but it is also a DLL.

I have converted over 400 RTF files to HTML in a few minutes, so the performance is good too. I used a graphical interface, so I have no information about the DLL. According to the site, the DLL works with .NET.

DocFrac at SourceForge

Update: fixed link because www.docfrac.net no longer exists.

Try using this RTF library for HTML.Net. It supports RTF for HTML and text to HTML conversion. The full version is not free, but there is a free trial.

This code may be useful:

SautinSoft.RtfToHtml r = new SautinSoft.RtfToHtml(); //specify some options r.OutputFormat = SautinSoft.RtfToHtml.eOutputFormat.XHTML_10; r.Encoding = SautinSoft.RtfToHtml.eEncoding.UTF_8; string rtfFile = @"d:\test.rtf"; string htmlFile = @"d:\test.html"; string rtfString = null; ReadFromFile(rtfFile,ref rtfString); int i = r.ConvertStringToFile(rtfString,htmlFile); if (i == 0) { System.Console.WriteLine("Converted successfully!"); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(htmlFile); } else System.Console.WriteLine("Converting Error!"); } public static int ReadFromFile(string fileName,ref string fileStr) { try { FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fileName); StreamReader strmRead = fi.OpenText(); fileStr = strmRead.ReadToEnd(); strmRead.Close(); return 0; } catch { //error open file System.Console.WriteLine("Error in open file"); return 1; } }

ScroogeXHTML, a small library for converting RTF to HTML / XHTML, may be useful. However, it only supports a subset of the RTF standard. There are other libraries for reports with tables and other advanced layouts, such as Logictran R2Net Converter.
