Last post by MrBcx - November 03, 2026, 12:07:26 AMThanks Timo, it's working for me now. The pages render sufficiently quick.
I'm still confused over what the main difference is between
WHViewMD_WS_a1
and
WHViewMD_WS_a2

Your url points to : https://win32-docs.zip

and show it using md2rtf code (MrBcx).
A code have lot of bugs and needs cleaning.
Be patient while waiting, when it build file list to listbox.
Just select filename and doubleclick to see it in view window.

The win32-docs can be created by downloading zip from code at
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32
WHViewMD[64].ini
In WHViewMD_WS_a2.zip MiniUnZ code is included to project.
In WHViewMD_c_a3.zip RichEdit control is cleared before inserting new rtf page.
In WHViewMD_c_a4.zip use EM_SETTEXTEX and EN_LINK to show link string

md2rtf works well with MS Word, sadly not so well with Windows 7 RichEdit control, but in msftedit.dll looks good, but no pictures.
I get slightly better results. The rtf files look great in MSWord 2007 and inside the BCX_RICHEDIT() control
( which uses Msftedit.dll and the crucial classname "RichEdit50W" ) and the images are displayed in both cases.
Windows XP Wordpad displays okay but no images.

Last post by Robert - November 02, 2026, 03:46:45 AMQuote from: MrBcx on November 02, 2026, 01:48:11 AMI took my earlier MD2HTML and converted it to MD2RTF.
It has most of the same functionality but not all, notably no "--dark" option.
One thing it does have is the ability to call it at the command line with a github RAW url.
MD2RTF https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32/refs/heads/docs/desktop-src/Controls/about-combo-boxes.md
The app will resolve, download, and embed the images referenced in the github link. Pretty useful!
The zip contains a Pelles project, files, and a Samples folder with a half dozen that I created with this tool, just to give an idea of what it produces.
Have fun!
(( Added Later ))
The forum is not showing the 0.6MB zip, so I'm making it available here:

Thanks MrBcx, for both MD2HTML and MD2RTF. Very informative and useful.

Last post by Robert - November 01, 2026, 08:32:08 PMQuote from: TimoVJL on October 31, 2026, 03:51:10 PMA markdown (.md) conversion to RTF could be useful for md-files,
as RichEdit component could show them visually.
Currently win32-docs are not good consistent material, but a testbed for them.
Sadly also a MSDN help file material is just a huge trashcan with too many kind of formattings, no coherent material.
A md-format was a good idea, from it could format many kind of other formats, like bloated xhtml.QuoteCybersecurity researchers have uncovered a sophisticated malware campaign exploiting Microsoft Help Index Files (.mshi) to deliver the notorious PipeMagic backdoor, marking a significant evolution in the threat actors' tactics since the malware's first detection in 2022.
