I have a parser / renderer, but it isn't complete. Part of the problem is that
the QTextDocument class needs functionality (proposed but rejected) like
line spacing.

My API looks like:
void RtfDemo::openFile()
{
  QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName( this, "Open RTF file",
                                                   QString(), "*.rtf" );

  if ( fileName.isEmpty() ) {
    return;
  }

  RtfReader::Reader *reader = new RtfReader::Reader( this );

  bool result = reader->open( fileName );

  if ( ! result ) {
    qDebug() << "failed to open file: " << fileName;
    return;
  }

  // delete m_rtfDocument;
  m_rtfDocument = new QTextDocument( this );
  RtfReader::TextDocumentRtfOutput *output = new RtfReader::TextDocumentRtfOutput( m_rtfDocument );

  reader->parseTo( output );

  QTextEdit *textEdit = new QTextEdit( this );
  setCentralWidget(textEdit);

  textEdit->setDocument( m_rtfDocument );

  m_saveTextAction->setEnabled( true );
  m_saveHtmlAction->setEnabled( true );
}

Does that look like the sort of thing you'd be interested
in helping out on?
