How HTM Handles RTF Data
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. Rich Text Format preserves the full range. HTML Document maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the HTML Document format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in HTML Document are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Rich Text Format input produces an excellent HTML Document output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly.
Document conversion from Rich Text Format to HTML Document involves translating formatting, layout, fonts, and embedded content between document models. Complex formatting like tables, headers, footers, and page breaks are mapped as accurately as possible. Some format-specific features (macros, track changes, advanced styles) may not have direct equivalents in the target format.
The RTF to HTM conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Supports basic formatting: fonts, sizes, colors, tables, images
