rtf-to-html

The world's only RFC compliant RTF to HTML parser.

rtf-to-html is available in Maven Central:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.bbottema</groupId>
    <artifactId>rtf-to-html</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

There are three versions of RTF to HTML for you to discover:

• RTF2HTMLConverterJEditorPane: A converter that invokes Swing's native RTF support
• RTF2HTMLConverterClassic: The orignal custom (regex-based) built converter with reasonable results
• RTF2HTMLConverterJEditorPane: The improved RFC-compliant parser with the most correct outcome

RTF2HTMLConverter converter = RTF2HTMLConverterJEditorPane.INSTANCE;
RTF2HTMLConverter converter = RTF2HTMLConverterClassic.INSTANCE;
RTF2HTMLConverter converter = RTF2HTMLConverterRFCCompliant.INSTANCE;

String html = converter.rtf2html("RTF text");
