RTF or HTML Editor?

Hello,

i need a little help with Rich Text Editors.
If i search for an RTE on the web, i got a lot of results leading to HTML-Editors like Xinha.
I have to create a webapplication that is able to show and edit existing Text in Rich Text Format like in any *.rtf file. Is there any possibility to fill a Xinha-Editor with this rtf content? And if not, why are the most wysiwyg editors called "Rich Text Editors"?

Thanks for any helpful comment to this point.

Re: RTF or HTML Editor?

Xinha can only edit HTML, the only way to edit RTF with it, is to convert your RTF into HTML (and back again!) - probably not practical at all.

"Rich Text" is often used in two contexts,
  1) in a specific sense to mean ".rtf" files, which is a specific format of file used by word processing software intended for cross platform document sharing, not that common these days since Word .doc files basically won the war.

  2) in a generic sense to simply mean "text with other stuff like images, tables etc" for which HTML, and word docs, and whatever else all qualify.
