[Xerte] Getting the rich text of a field

[Dave Burnett]

Oh. Think you'd have to write your own parser or use a 3rd party tool if you are trying to output html > rtf.
I wrote a basic one to go the other way, RTF > html.

There are lots of 3rd party tools out there to feed a stream of html to and write out rtf. Integrating it would be the challenge.
