OK, let me restate. I need text edit control with rich capabilities
(styles, sub/super scripts, etc) that would allow me to export its
context as RTF/DOC/HTML. I am seeking for advice what route to take:
- Use MLTE that allows saving RTF and find a converter to convert
from RTF to DOC and HTML. Anyone here knows such converters? From
Your experience, is such conversion reliable?
- Use NSTextView that supposedly allows exporting to DOC/HTML. That
requires Cocoa's control (and hence Cocoa's window, right?).
- Something else?
[I'd appreciate if someone from Apple could hint me about future
of supported formats in MLTE.]
