Convert RTF to HTML in .NET

Question

I\'ve managed to do the reverse using WebBrowser and RichTextBox.

But how would I convert RTF to HTML?

Answer 1

If you pop-up NuGet and search for "RTF", the most popular result right now looks like RtfPipe; you can install it right there, or via the package manager console via:

Install-Package RtfPipe

Then in your C#, you can convert RTF to HTML super easily:

var html = RtfPipe.Rtf.ToHtml(rtf);

According to the readme.md on their GitHub page:

This library attempts to support the core RTF features documented in the RTF Specification 1.9.1. These features include:

• Character formatting (bold, italics, color, ...)
• Tables (including nested tables)
• Lists
• Hyperlinks
• Pictures
• Heading levels
• HTML encapsulation (e.g. as performed by Outlook)

With that said, there are numerous cases for non-trivial documents where the library will not produce the "correct" visual representation when compared to other RTF readers (such as MS Word).

I piped my RTF into it, and it worked amazingly. YYMV.
