New project - an RTF library

ruby-talk
1

I am in the process of creating a RTF mangling library to read and
create RTF files under Ruby based on Peter Seagents(?) Perl module call
RTF::Tokenizer.

It’s early days but presently it can take an RTF file apart and create a
stream of tokens that is a byte for byte copy of the Perl version (for
the few RTF documents that I have to hand).

The next step is to reassemble the stream of tokens back into a valid
RTF document (mid next week perhaps).

Just a few questions…

  1. Is anyone else working on an RTF library so we dont waste the effort.
  2. Does anyone have a vision of how a larger RTF Document Creator
    library would be used. What features would people want.
  3. Would anyone object to me reserving the name rtf_tools for this library.

Nice to have something to program once in a while.
