What is RTF?

RTF

RTF uses human-readable ASCII text with embedded formatting codes in curly braces (e.g., \b for bold). Developed by Microsoft for cross-platform document exchange. Supports fonts, colors, styles, tables, and embedded images (as hexadecimal data). Much larger file sizes than binary formats due to ASCII encoding. Maximum practical size limited by text editor capabilities. Widely compatible across word processors and platforms.

  • RTF stores editable documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
  • Editable content converts to fixed TEX layout, preventing further editing

What is LATEX?

LaTeX

LaTeX is a document preparation system using TeX typesetting engine with macro packages. Plain text format with backslash commands for formatting, equations, and structure. Excels at mathematical notation, scientific papers, and complex layouts. Compiles to PDF or DVI. Steep learning curve but produces professional typography. Widely used in academic publishing. Files are human-readable text. No practical size limits.

  • TEX stores fixed-layout documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
  • Fixed layout extracts to editable RTF format (OCR may be required)
  • Read-only format—text extraction required for editing
