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.
YAML
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization format designed to be more readable than JSON or XML for configuration files and structured data. It uses indentation and minimal punctuation to represent nested data structures, sequences, and mappings in a way that closely resembles natural language. YAML is the native configuration format for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and countless other modern developer tools.
