[sword-devel] RTF in conf files

[Troy A. Griffitts]

There is an SWFilter to help with this.

E.g., to get HTML, try something like:

#include <rtfhtml.h>
SWBuf confValue = module.getConfigValue("About");
RTFHTML().processText(confValue);

If you don't want HTML, I believe there are also other RTF filter conversions like RTFPlain which should give you things like your newlines instead.
