Rich Text Format Document

Rich Text Format (RTF) is a document file format developed by Microsoft. It offers cross-platform compatibility, allowing users to open and edit documents on various operating systems and applications. RTF files support text formatting, including styles, fonts, sizes, and colors. They are suitable for creating and sharing documents that require basic formatting but don't need the advanced features offered by other formats. It is a widely supported and easily convertible document format.

LIT eBook

LIT is a file format used for storing eBooks. It often incorporates copyright protection through Digital Rights Management (DRM). LIT files can contain text, images, and hyperlinks. While it was a popular format, its support has diminished over the years. Its primary use is for storing and distributing digital books, but due to DRM restrictions, it is sometimes converted to more widely used eBook formats.

What is RTF?

RTF, or Rich Text Format, is a universal document format developed by Microsoft.
