The XML to RTF filter takes an XML document and applies an XSLT stylesheet transformation, which transforms the XML to an XSL:fo compliant document. This is then rendered to RTF (Rich Text Format).
An RTF document can be read with Microsoft® Word or most other word processing applications.

XSL Background
XSL is a language for expressing stylesheets. An XSL stylesheet is a file that describes how to display an XML document of a given type and includes:
- A transformation language for XML documents: XSLT. This is a general purpose XML processing language and is widely used for tasks such as generating HTML web pages from XML data.
- Advanced styling features, expressed by an XML document type which defines a set of formatting objects: XSL:fo. Refer to The Extensible Stylesheet Language Family for details.
