Conversion of RTF text to SVG is an extension of RTF to XML converter features, capable of describing 2d-vector graphics (both static and animated). Whereas XML format supports images through the use of external linked files only, SVG allows describing scalable graphics with simple scripts, what provides a huge interest for RTF to SVG converters.
You may want to convert RTF text to SVG format for different reasons.
