<p>
JFOR, an open source XSL-FO to RTF converter has been integrated into Apache FOP.
This will create an RTF (rich text format) document that will
- attempt to contain as much information from the fo document as
- possible. The RTF output follows Microsoft's RTF specifications
+ attempt to contain as much information from the XSL-FO document as
+ possible. It should be noted that is not possible (due to RTF's limitations) to map all
+ XSL-FO features to RTF. For complex documents, the RTF output will never reach the feature
+ level from PDF, for example. Thus, using RTF output is only recommended for simple documents
+ such as letters.

+ The RTF output follows Microsoft's RTF specifications
and produces best results on Microsoft Word.

<note>RTF output is currently unmaintained and lacks many features compared to other output
