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:

    ... the self respect of individuals ought to make them demand of their leaders conformity with an agreed-upon code of ethics and moral conduct.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    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)
