java 1.6.0_38When rendering an RTF from Html that has a brace character in it, you’re not escaping the brace characters. This results in an RTF file that has unmatched braces and cannot be opened by the most-often used editors for RTF viewing.
From the RTF spec:
As previously mentioned, the backslash () and braces ({ }) have special meaning in RTF. To use these characters as text, precede them with a backslash, as in \, {, and }.
Html Example:
<br /> <html><br /> <head/><br /> <body><br /> <div>{Belleville Toyota, Inc. v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.</div>,<br /> </body><br /> </html><br />Results in:
<br /> {rtf1<br /> {info<br /> {title }<br /> }<br /> paperw11900paperh16840headery500footery500margl1104margr604margt604margb604widowctrlf1i0b0fs16{fonttbl{f1 Arial Unicode MS;}<br /> }<br /> {colortbl;red0green0blue0;<br /> }<br /> {widctlparcf1 {Belleville Toyota, Inc. v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.<br /> par}cf1f1i0b0fs20 , }<br />This is an invalid RTF file (cannot be opened by Microsoft Word).
WordPad must be more lenient and add braces at the end, but regardless, the file violates the RTF spec.#29381We just fixed the issue in the development build. A fix will be available with the forthcoming beta release in about 1 week.
