C++ API to Export MD to RTF
Render MD to RTF within C++ applications without requiring any third party application
Aspose.Total for C++ file format automation libraries allows C++ developer to convert MD to RTF in two simple steps. Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert MD file format to DOC. Secondly, by using advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++ , you can export DOC to RTF.
C++ API to Render MD to RTF
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load MD file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.md");
// save MD as a DOC
doc->Save(u"DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat::Doc);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> wordDoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"DocOutput.doc");
// save document as Rtf
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Rtf");
Change Password of MD Document via C++
In the process of rendering MD to RTF, you can open a password protected MD and also change its password. In order to change the password of a MD file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing MD Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.md", L"owner");
// change password of MD Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict RTF File Editing via C++
You can also restrict RTF file editing using using Aspose.Words for C++ API. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. API enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. The following code example demonstrates how to restrict editing in a document so only editing in form fields is possible.
// load Doc with an instance of Document
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>("input.doc");
// document protection only works when document protection is turned and only editing in form fields is allowed.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::AllowOnlyFormFields, u"password");
// save the protected document.
doc->Save(u"Protected.Rtf");

What is MD File Format
Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling all forms of writing on the GitHub platform. From your READMEs and in-line comments to documentation for your repositories and blog posts, Markdown is designed to make writing on the web easy to read, easy to write, and still look great.In addition to the basics of Markdown, you can also include images, links, and code blocks in your documents. You can even use a subset of HTML in your Markdown documents if you need more control over the display of your content.Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, nor is it a replacement for a rich text editor. It is simply a way to make writing on the web more accessible and easy to read.

Introduced and documented by Microsoft, the Rich Text Format (RTF) represents a method of encoding formatted text and graphics for use within applications. The format facilitates cross-platform document exchange with other Microsoft Products, thus serving the purpose of interoperability. This capability makes it a standard of data transfer between word processing software and, hence, contents can be transferred from one operating system to another without losing document formatting. The file format specifications are available by Microsoft for public download and can be referred to from developer's perspective. One of the key advantages of RTF is its ability to preserve formatting across different word processors and text editors. This means that you can create an RTF document in one application and be confident that it will look the same when opened in another application, even if the two applications use different default fonts, font sizes, and other formatting options.
