MarkdownToRtf

MarkdownToRtf is a basic C# library that converts Markdown to RTF (Rich Text Format). It supports standard Markdown elements such as headings, bold, italic, underline, lists, and more.

Features

• Markdown parsing: Converts Markdown syntax into RTF.
• Standard elements:
  • Headings (# Heading 1, ## Heading 2, etc.)
  • Bold (**bold**)
  • Italic (*italic*)
  • Underline (__underline__)
  • Ordered and unordered lists (1. Item, - Bullet)
  • Block quotes (> Quote)
• RTF output: Generates a valid RTF string that can be saved to a file or rendered in controls like RichTextBox.

Usage

Basic Example

using MarkdownToRtf;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string markdown = @"
# Heading 1
This is **bold**, *italic*, and __underline__ text.

1. First item
2. Second item

- Bullet 1
- Bullet 2
";

        string rtf = MarkdownToRtfConverter.Convert(markdown);

        Console.WriteLine(rtf);
        // Save to file or use in a RichTextBox
    }
}

Output

Input Markdown:

# Heading 1
This is **bold**, *italic*, and __underline__ text.

1. First item
2. Second item

- Bullet 1
- Bullet 2

Output RTF (simplified for readability):

{\rtf1\ansi\deff0
\pard\sa180\fs30 \b Heading 1\b0\par
\pard\ This is \b bold \b0 , \i italic \i0 , and \ul underline \ulnone  text.\par
\pard\ 1. First item\par
\pard\ 2. Second item\par
\pard\ \bullet Bullet 1\par
\pard\ \bullet Bullet 2\par
}
