The *BIN_TO_HTML() function converts binary RTF text to HTML text. The following images show the RTF text on the form and the converted HTML text in a browser.
Example
The following example reads RTF binary text, writes it to an HTML file, and displays it in a browser.
dim tbl as P dim htmltext as C tbl = table.open("customer") tbl.fetch_first() htmltext = " " + *bin_to_html(tbl.rtfmemo) + " " file.from_string("c:\foo.html",htmltext) sys_open("c:\foo.html")

dim tbl as P dim fld as P dim html as C tbl = table.current() fld = tbl.field_get("comment") html = *bin_to_html(fld.value_get() )
