About RTF and XLSX

RTF (Rich Text Format) is a portable text format readable by virtually every word processor, supporting basic formatting like bold, fonts, and colors, but not macros or advanced layout.

XLSX (Microsoft Excel Workbook (Office Open XML)) is Excel's modern XML-based format, supporting formulas, multiple sheets, charts, and conditional formatting.

What to expect: RTF carries little to no formatting of its own, so the XLSX output will start plain — you can add styling afterward in a compatible editor.
