RTF

Rich Text Format File

In its original conception, the .rtf format was a specification for formatting text and graphics principally designed to facilitate the interoperability of documents and text between Microsoft document processing applications. It eliminated the need for specialized translation software required to open documents in different versions of MS-DOS, Windows, and Macintosh. The specification is a proprietary filename format first developed by Microsoft in 1987 to be supported in Microsoft word 3.0 and all versions of Microsoft Office Word thereof. The latest revision, version 1.9.1, was released in 2008 and also marked the end of any further enhancements to the specification by Microsoft. Through unformatted text, control words, control symbols, and groups, a piece of text can be encoded into an .rtf format. All RTF readers then process .rtf formats by separating and acting on control information disparately from the actual text in the document. Though the RTF specification is proprietary asset of Microsoft, several non-Microsoft programs support both reading .rtf documents and creating .rtf. Microsoft Office Suite is still however the most dominant application associated with this specification.
HTML

Hypertext Markup Language File

The hypertext markup language, commonly referred to as HTML is at the backbone of the internet and World Wide Web. It is the standard markup language used in the creation of webpages and was released in 1993 at the advent of the internet. The format defines the structure and layout of a webpage through markup tags such as header tags and image tags from which a browser can interpret multimedia information for on screen presentation. To view files and webpages saved with the .html filename extension, one needs a compatible web browser that implements the HTML specification. Because the format is open source, several browsers which are mostly free to use can open such files. The World Wide Web consortium actively maintains and updates the html specification.

Extended ASCII, PC-8, and ANSI are among the original character control sets used in the formatting and text representation of documents saved in the .rtf format. At present the format supports 7-bit ASCII characters. This formally allows the easy transfer of text documents between different computers running different operating systems and applications. RTF requires minimal computer resources and does not support macros. It does however have support for embedding some of the popular graphical format such as JPEG and PNG. Not all applications have support for these embedded graphical format thus .rtf files with unsupported embedded graphical images will open but will not display the graphical images.

The internals of an html file are a structure of nested html elements represented as language specific tags enclosed in angle brackets for example '<title>'. There are several of these tags each with their own representative meaning in the html markup language. The html specification relies on the hypertext transfer protocol to distribute .html files over a network such as the internet. However, .html files can also be distributed as embedded content within an email.
