From their example:
If you're going to add information, that has to be a higher byte count.
From their example:
$ echo "{\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard
This is some {\b bold} text.\par
}" |wc -c
86
$ echo "This is some bold text." |wc -c
24
If you're going to add information, that has to be a higher byte count.
forgot the default font, size, alignment and so on, on rtf.
thanks for pointing that out.

Assuming: - a single char takes 1 byte. - a linked list takes about 5 bytes/char. - a double linked list takes about 9 bytes/char.
1. Why is "Plain Text" format so low on memory. Is it using an array as storage?
2. Why is "Rich Format" so heavy?
Insight, details answers, and links welcome.
