I was using domino appdev pack 1.0.4 in order to retrieve richtext content, and I used the example code that HCL provides to read rich text, which would return buffer format and write the buffer into a file.

But I use Note to open the file, it seems that the content is not like the data stored in Domino Notes. The text appeared garbled. I was wondering if there is a way to get the same content as it shows in Domino Notes. Or is it possible to convert the file into html format?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • If you access the Notes document with the rich text field via a Web browser, the rich text is converted to HTML as best it can. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/11913691/3439282 – teleman Jun 04 '20 at 19:37
  • Convert the RT to HTML via an agent. See [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60315715/access-rich-text-fields/60755545#60755545](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60315715/access-rich-text-fields/60755545#60755545) – J Mers Jun 25 '20 at 11:38

So in 1.0.4 the richtext data you download using that API is the CDrecord binary data from notes. I agree that it's not terribly useful for you in the node world unless you have a way to process it.

In 1.0.5 there will be a library where you can start to parse the CDrecord data and extract text and formatting from it. Not all rich text elements will be supported yet, it's still a work in progress.
