How Rich Text conversion works
Our engine parses the internal structure of your Rich Text files to produce clean, semantic Markdown — not a naive text dump.
RTF control words are parsed to extract bold, italic, and underline formatting
Font size changes are used to infer heading hierarchy
Numbered and bulleted lists are detected from RTF list formatting commands
Table structures are extracted and mapped to Markdown tables
Embedded images are extracted and referenced in the output
Character encoding is handled automatically for international documents
