Re: Rich Text Validation

Hi All,

We have an Interbase database that stores entries in a text blob in
rich text format. We suspect that there are problems with some of the
records such as ending tags missing, etc.

Can anyone point me to a component, application, whatever that can
validate rich text for proper formatting? I'd like to find something
for rich text that could do a job similar to W3C's validator
http://validator.w3.org/ but hopefully where I could feed it several
hundred submissions in batch.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

- LogicTran offers products in the RTF conversion field, maybe their free demo versions of RTF to HTML converters show some error messages if bad RTF is detected:

http://www.logictran.com/

- my Delphi component 'ScroogeXHTML' for RTF to XHTML/HTML conversion might be used as a starting point for a validator, it has less configuration options than the LogicTran products, but its RTF parsing engine can be modified (source code is included)

If you like, you can also send an example RTF to me for and i try to figure out what is wrong with it.

Greetings,

Michael Justin
