Hi,

There are several possible approaches to store annotations (and other

additional RTF code), but all of them:

- require from you to write RTF code for annotations yourself;

- annotations will be ignored when importing this RTF back.

1) You can define some text style as containing RTF codes: include

rvteoRTFCode in Options for this text style.

Text of this style will be saved in RTF as is, without replacing braces and

slashes with codes.

This approach has one additional problem: this text will be saved in HTML as

well as in RTF.

2) You can insert some control in RichView (for example, TImage with some

icon) and in OnSaveComponentToFile write a code which will be inserted in

RTF (or in HTML)

3) Just for completeness: undocumented event OnSaveRTFExtra allows to save

additional RTF code in descriptions of text, paragraph styles, cells or

table rows.
