Thats *RTF* not *RSS*. He wants to create a Rich Text Document.

Rich-text is a text-based format. So if you're reasonably good with
PHP theres no reaosn why you wouldn't be able to generate an RTF
format just by reading the RTF specification.

Try it for yourself, create a simple file using Wordpad, then open
the rtf file using an ASCII text editor.

Thanks but can that be used to create an rtf document (ie rich text format
doc). I have only seen doc files produced on win servers using a com module.
I am trying to use a linux server - I have used an excel class that
generated a spreadsheet output - I was wondering if the same could be done
with word or rtf as substitute for word.

Phil
I have trouble I think with the ascii format - I have tried for example to
cut and paste the rtf headers from editpad lite into a php variable but
there is some kind of problem - I just get the headers appearing in my rtf
document.

Post a sample?

Your enemy here is whitespace - using the <<</EOD form is injecting spaces
where the linebreaks are, and they're poison to RTF.

I'd suggest you put the original RTF template into a text file and
substitute the text you want changed with scalar variables:
{\author $author}

Garp

Thanks Garp
I think I have it now - read a file and do string replaces etc - I have it
working now.

ok, I thought RSS & RTF were the same.

Can I know how to do this?

I have a form and would like the results to be send in rtf as an
attachment in an email.
