	Generating RTF I'm making a web-based payroll system right now. Since we need to generate print-outs of the data, I opted to format it using Microsoft's proprietary (?!) Rich Text Format (RTF). I didn't choose PDF because it's a bit complicated, and because we are on a tight deadline (was it a correct decision?). I have no formal training on this whatsoever, so I had to rely on samples to deduce some of the rules that make up this document language. The text that MSWord generates is so horrible. I had to examine lengthy sequences such as this: "... \brdrs\brdrw15\brdrcf1 \cltxlrtb\clftsWidth3\clwWidth1204\clshdrawnil \cellx9748\clvertalt\clbrdrt\brdrs\brdrw15\brdrcf1..." This is fun! :)
