convert text file to rich text

[Synth3t1c]

I'm working on a project to help people who wrote papers, etc... on a mac with the word processor PAGES convert it to another USABLE format.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pagesconvert/

It's open source; right now I have only gotten so far as to convert it into a text file.

Basically, I look through an XML file for formatting and would like to convert certain strings into a certain color, or bold, etc... Essentially, this would force me to convert text into rich text. I don't mind saving the format as .rtf (actually, that is preferred).

Can someone help me? Also, look at the tasks and see if you can help me out anywhere else!

Either you need to read up on the RTF file format and then insert the appropriate markup into a String that contains your plain text, or you need to load the file into a RichTextBox and use its members to apply the appropriate formatting to the text and then call its SaveFile method to save to an RTF file. There are plenty of existing threads on the forum about using the RichTextBox but, if you want to go that way, I'd suggest a thorough read of the MSDN documentation for the class to start with.
