What is RTF to TXT?
The primary role of an RTF to TXT parser is to strip styling tokens from document sources. The parser strips out font tables, paragraph rules, page metrics, color maps, and style wrappers (such as `{\rtf1\ansi\deff0 ...}`), returning only the character payload. This conversion is widely used by researchers, data analysts, and software developers who need to clean legacy rich text templates to feed raw text into databases, search engines, or coding tools.
