We use TRichView because of its extensive capabilities. Stack Overflow :: Delphi, HTML, Editor, Component The quest for an HTML editor VCL control.WYSIWYG HTML Editor Component for Delphi.Google Results :: Delphi, HTML, Editor, Component There are also several good HTML edit controls for Delphi if you want to bypass the complexities of authoring in RTF and converting to HTML: JvRichEditToHtml should easily handle what you've described as long as users don't introduce complex content via a copy/paste, or use the keyboard shortcuts to format the content (e.g., bullets = ctrl+shft+L, indent = ctrl+M, etc.). JvRichEditToHtml does a decent job converting RTF to HTML, but we ended up writing our own conversion unit because we do a lot more with RTF than simple formatting. Even though you only need to support simple formatting, users often use other features that cause conversion headaches - like copying content from MSWord and pasting it into your app with all sort of formatting and font styles. There are unicode character considerations, font styles, font codes, paragraph formatting, numbered lists, special HTML characters, and SO much more. Manually converting RTF to HTML is not an easy task. Procedure SetRTFData(MS: TMemoryStream RTF: TRichEdit) If you use TRichEdit, then you can easily stream the RTF content in and out of the control, although I recommend TJvRichEdit over TRichEdit: procedure GetRTFData(MS: TMemoryStream RTF: TRichEdit) Regardless of which way you go, it is best to store the native format for users to edit the content, and convert it as needed to other formats (instead of converting it both directions). If the only reason you are using TRichEdit is so that you can have simple formatting capabilities, then you are probably better off using an HTML edit control that generates native HTML content. If you really want to generate RTF content using a TRichEdit, then you should store the native RTF it generates alongside the converted HTML.
