ScroogeXHTML for the Java(tm) platform is a JavaBean(tm) which can convert a small subset of the RTF code to XHTML . It is fast, easy to customize and use and comes with full source code.
ScroogeXHTML converts text attributes including background and highlight colors, paragraph attributes including text alignment (left, right, centered, justified) , left/right/first line indent and numbered/unnumbered lists. In combination with CSS support , default font property settings allow to create very small output documents. A hyperlink detection mode, which is based on text attributes, allows to process hyperlinks. Many options are available to control the HTML header. In debug mode, the converter inserts informations about the RTF document in the output code.
ScroogeXHTML requires JRE 1.3 or higher. It has been designed to be fast and easy to use, but the RTF specification contains very many elements and features, so it can not convert all of them. Not supported are - for example - embedded pictures, computed fields, tables and tabulators.
There are four licenses types for ScroogeXHTML:
a single user license, a site license, a world wide license,
and a client/server license. To read more about the license
terms, please visit the
ScroogeXHTML prices and license terms
page.
The demo version, which
is available on the Betasoft web pages, can be used to convert
RTF files to XHTML. Note: the ScroogeXHTML demo application
can not be installed as a JavaBean(tm)
.
Just run the batch file to start the demo application.
XHTML is compatible with HTML and also with XML. It has some small changes (for example, <br /> instead of <br>) but they do not confuse older browsers. Because of its XML compatibility, XHTML can be integrated in next-generation internet systems and works in browsers for devices like TV set top boxes and mobile phones. More information about XHTML can be found at http://www.w3c.org .
If you want to modify the source code to add other features, please check the RTF specification which is available from Microsoft (tm). Some web sites, for example Wotsit , do also have RTF specifications online. The XHTML code generated by ScroogeXHTML can be displayed by many browsers and has passed the online W3C validation service . Please note that ScroogeXHTML allows to insert custom HTML code, which will not be checked automatically for XHTML compliance.
The RTF specification is available from Microsoft (tm). Some web sites, for example Wotsit , have the RTF specification online.
A component version for Borland(tm) Delphi(tm) is also available from BetaSoft .
The complete
ScroogeXHTML JavaDoc(tm) documentation
