Code Example
As an example, the following RTF code:
{\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard This is some {\b bold} text.\par }is a document which would be rendered like this when read by a program that supports RTF:
This is some bold text.
Braces ({ and }) define a group; groups can be nested. A backslash (\) starts an RTF control code. A valid RTF document is a group that starts with the \rtf control code.
In the example above, the \b control code invokes boldface type; the example uses a group to limit the scope of the boldface control code. All other text characters will be rendered as plain text. The \par control code indicates the end of a paragraph.

Famous quotes containing the word code:
“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
