HTML, rich text and plain text?

Hey people,

Is rich text based on HTML? Especially when it comes to sending emails?

For me it is like this:

Plain text email: Pure text message without formatting

Email as HTML message: HTML formatted text message

Email as rich text : Formatted message based on HTML , but in a slimmed down form OR a formatted message based on RTF – a competitor to HTML in terms of email formatting.

Hi,

the RTF format serves as a text format for form-arted text and can be created or read independently of the program. It has nothing to do with HTML and has peculiarities that, although HTML or XML resemble, but still a proprietary technology is developed by Microsoft. RTF also uses very specific control characters that are not close to HTML in the context of HTML element(tags).

Hi, I can answer them. Rich text is not equal to Rich text format. One is an appropriate text format and the other is a term. Rich text means formatted text in many cases and usually it is displayed in HTML.

Does Rich Text Based on HTML?

No. It is a separate development of Microsoft to exchange texts between different programs and operating systems.

The syntax is much simpler similar to HTML.
