Format Details
RTF
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document interchange format developed by Microsoft in 1987 to allow formatted text to be shared across different word processors and operating systems. It encodes text formatting such as fonts, colors, bold, italic, and paragraph alignment using ASCII escape sequences, making it readable by virtually any word processor. RTF remains widely used as a compatibility format when the recipient's software is unknown.
RST
reStructuredText (RST) is a plain-text markup language widely used for technical documentation in the Python programming ecosystem. It is the default documentation format for Python projects and the native input format for the Sphinx documentation generator, which produces HTML, PDF, ePub, and man pages. RST supports complex cross-references, footnotes, directives, and extensions, making it well-suited for large, structured documentation projects.
