The advantage of the RTF is that it combines multiple scripts and the special and language specific characters used in the subtitles are not lost in the export.
It can also contain certain elements of the formatting: italic text, row alignment, foreground color and outline. The exported RTF is in the following form:
0002 10:00:16:03 10:00:21:01
They are considered some of the
most beautiful parrots,
0003 10:00:21:05 10:00:25:10
due to their beautiful and
striking colours.
Pressing the Config button, the following dialog appears:
