ScroogeXHTML for the Java platform is a library which can convert a subset of the Rich Text Format (RTF) standard to HTML5 and XHTML, as a standalone document, or as a fragment which can be used in other documents
It supports RTF features such as hyperlinks, field results, simple tables, picture data extraction, and embeds PNG and JPG pictures as data URI
It minimizes documents using cascading style sheets (CSS), and allows post processing of the intermediate DOM document
It is easy to use, and requires no external runtime libraries except the SLF4J logging facade
The online demo converts a RTF document and displays the result HTML5
