CLI RTF text editor?


Hey gang!

I am really trying to find a cli/console text editor that can open/edit RTF text files?
Any ideas?

I know they them for Dindows, but what about Linux?
Thanks

I've been looking for something like this for ages and never found one. The closest I've ever found was wordgrinder, and I don't think that does RTF.

What I would really like is something like the old WordPerfect or Word for Dos that can handle standard document files (rtf, odt, doc), and I've always been surprised nothing like that seems to exist in Linux.

X11 rtf editor

If you're still looking, try RtfEd. It's an X11 rtf editor.
It's freeware, simple to use, and saves files as RTF,TXT,HTML,PDF.
Download from genscriber.com

You can use cliword which will edit/format your documents (including rtf), that you can run on Linux, Windows, and Mac.
Cliword costs 250 euros, and can come with clisheet.
