Working with RTF

Rich Text Format is a file format developed by Microsoft that allows you to define text files with formatting, font information, text color, etc.

The RTF renderer will read the text from a control source, which might be a Field, Literal, Script or URL. This means RTF text can be read from your datasource, or from a file on disk.

When the RTF renderer read the text from the Script it should be Double Slash \\

Example :

"{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fswiss\\fcharset0 

Arial;}}\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\ql\\f0\\fs28 \\b " + Company + "\\b0 .\\par}"

When the RTF renderer read the text from the Field it should be Single Slash \

Example :

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 

Arial;}}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ql\f0\fs28 \b  Elixir \b0 .\par}

Note: The Script must be in a single line or must be broken into concatenated strings
"like " +
"this".

RTF is the preferred way to obtain attributed text, where the font, colour, alignment, even line-spacing can vary within a block of text.

Note: Elixir Report only support text subset of RTF.
