rtf
What is a .rtf file?
application/rtf
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a plain-text-based document format that encodes styling, fonts, and layout using backslash control words. It is human-readable in a text editor and broadly interoperable across word processors. It predates Office Open XML and remains a portable rich-text interchange format.
How to use a .rtf file
Use an example RTF to test rich-text parsing, control-word handling, and converters that translate between RTF and DOCX, HTML, or plain text.

- RTF — Formatted DocumentA Rich Text Format document exercising bold, italic, underline, colour, headings, and a bullet list — all as plain control words. For testing RTF parsers, text extraction, and RTF→DOCX/PDF conversion.
- RTF — Plain DocumentThe simplest possible RTF: one monospace font and a couple of paragraphs, no styling. A minimal baseline for RTF parsers and conversion tools.
