For a language as rich as RTF, regular expressions are not going to get you all that far: they are probably only suitable for writing the lexical analyzer (or tokenizer). RTF syntax is not that complex for requiring BNF parser. assuming the following RTF: {\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard This is some {\b bold} text.\par } it can be easily converted w/ regular expressions to something like: <g><rtf>1</rtf><ansi/><g><fonttbl/><f>0</f><fswiss/>Helvetica<sc/></g><f>0</f><pard/> This is some <g><b/>bold</g> text.<par/> </g> where "g" equals to RTF's curly braces(group) and "sc" to semicolon in RTF. not sure if BNF parser will produce something better...
