Rich Text Format - Code Example

Code Example

As an example, the following RTF code:

{\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard This is some {\b bold} text.\par }

is a document which would be rendered like this when read by a program that supports RTF:

This is some bold text.

Braces ({ and }) define a group; groups can be nested. A backslash (\) starts an RTF control code. A valid RTF document is a group that starts with the \rtf control code.

In the example above, the \b control code invokes boldface type; the example uses a group to limit the scope of the boldface control code. All other text characters will be rendered as plain text. The \par control code indicates the end of a paragraph.

Famous quotes containing the word code:

    Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
