Introduction
Essentials & Features
ScroogeXHTML for Object Pascal is a document conversion software library for Object Pascal (Delphi and Free Pascal/Lazarus). It can be used to convert RTF (rich text format) documents to HTML5 standalone documents, or to HTML markup fragments, which can be embedded in other documents. This enables software applications to create HTML from existing RTF documents 'on demand'.
- Supports text formatting attributes such as bold, italic, underline, and background/highlight colors.
- Supports paragraph formatting: alignment (left, right, centered, and justified) and indentation (left, right, and first-line).
- Supports simple numbered and bulleted lists.
- Unicode conversion supports multilingual documents, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
- Contact us if you are unsure whether a specific feature is supported.
- Tab characters are not converted (they are replaced with sequences of non-breaking spaces).
- Tables are not converted.
- Supports extraction of raw image data from embedded images. Converting images to web-compatible formats may require third-party libraries.
- Includes complimentary WMF-to-PNG conversion code for Delphi users.
- Includes complimentary embedding of PNG and JPG images as Data URIs.
- With throughput of up to several megabytes per second, ScroogeXHTML for Object Pascal is among the fastest solutions available.
Focus of 10.2:
Close out the 10.x hardening line and fix real-world RTF fidelity gaps:
a new opt-in TSxOptionsSecurity.StrictMode raises a catchable
exception on the first structural violation instead of always degrading
gracefully (the lenient default is unchanged) -
two independently-restarting RTF lists placed back-to-back no longer
silently merge into one list, and \pnlvlcont is now represented
correctly -
a \fmodern-tagged font now gets a ,monospace CSS
fallback like the other RTF font families already did -
\plain now restores the document's own default font instead of
a hardcoded one -
curly quotes (\lquote/\rquote/...) now render as
the correct Unicode characters instead of plain ASCII, and half-point font
sizes (\fsN) no longer get truncated to whole points

Examples
Conversion example with embedded images
- The first picture uses the JPG format, the second uses PNG
- Both pictures are embedded directly in the HTML code using a Data URI
- Pictures are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license.
