This library converts it to plain old text. + +## How to use it +```python +from striprtf.striprtf import rtf_to_text +rtf = "some rtf encoded string" +text = rtf_to_text(rtf) +print(text) +``` + +If you want to use a different encoding than `cp1252` you can pass it via the `encoding` +parameter. This is only taken into account if no explicit codepage has been set. +```python +from striprtf.striprtf import rtf_to_text +rtf = "some rtf encoded string in latin1" +text = rtf_to_text(rtf, encoding="latin-1") +print(text) +``` + +Sometimes UnicodeDecodingErrors can happen because of various reasons. +In this case you can try to relax the encoding process like this: +```python +from striprtf.striprtf import rtf_to_text +rtf = "some rtf encoded string" +text = rtf_to_text(rtf, errors="ignore") +print(text) +``` + +## Online version +If you don't want to install or just try it out there is an [online version](https://striprtf.dev) available. + +## PostgreSQL +There is also a [PostgreSQL version](https://github.com/MnhnL/pg_striprtf) available from [Raffael Mancini](https://github.com/raffael-mnhn). + +## History +[Pyth](https://github.com/brendonh/pyth) was not working for the rtf files I +had. The next best thing was this gist: +https://gist.github.com/gilsondev/7c1d2d753ddb522e7bc22511cfb08676 + +~~Very few additions where made, e.g. better formatting of tables. ~~ + +In the meantime some encodings bugs have been fixed. :-) + + + |
