# rtf-parser
A Rust RTF parser & lexer library designed for speed and memory efficiency.
The library is split into 2 main components:
1. The lexer
2. The parser
The lexer scan the document and return a `Vec<Token>` which represent the RTF file in a code-understandable manner.
To use it :
```rust
use rtf_parser::{Lexer, Parser, Token};
let tokens: Vec<Token> = Lexer::scan("<rtf>");
```
These tokens can then be passed to the parser to transcript it to a real document : `RtfDocument`.
```rust
let parser = Parser::new(tokens);
let doc: RtfDocument = parser.parse();
```
An `RtfDocument` is composed with :
- the **header**, containing among others the font table and the encoding.
- the **body**, which is a `Vec<StyledBlock>`
A `StyledBlock` contains all the information about the formatting of a specific block of text.
It contains a `Painter` and the text (`&str`).
The `Painter` is defined below, and the rendering implementation depends on the user. For now, it only supports font, bold, italic and underline.
```rust
struct Painter {
font_ref: FontRef,
font_size: u16,
bold: bool,
italic: bool,
underline: bool,
}
```
The parser could also return the text without any formatting information, with the `to_text()` method.
```rust
let rtf = r#"{\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard Voici du texte en {\b gras}.\par}"#;
let tokens = Lexer::scan(rtf);
let text = Parser::new(tokens).to_text();
assert_eq!(text, "Voici du texte en gras.");
```
## Examples
A complete example of rtf parsing is presented below :
```rust
use rtf_parser::{Lexer, Parser};
let rtf_text = r#"{ \rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard Voici du texte en {\b gras}.\par }"#;
let tokens = Lexer::scan(rtf_text);
let doc = Parser::new(tokens).parse();
assert_eq!(
doc.header,
RtfHeader {
character_set: Ansi,
font_table: FontTable::from([
(0, Font { name: "Helvetica", character_set: 0, font_family: Swiss })
])
}
);
assert_eq!(
doc.body,
[
StyleBlock {
painter: Painter { font_ref: 0, font_size: 0, bold: false, italic: false, underline: false },
text: "Voici du texte en ",
},
StyleBlock {
painter: Painter { font_ref: 0, font_size: 0, bold: true, italic: false, underline: false },
text: "gras",
},
StyleBlock {
painter: Painter { font_ref: 0, font_size: 0, bold: false, italic: false, underline: false },
text: ".",
},
]
);
```
