What is Plain text?
Unformatted text. Text exports use UTF-8 encoding.
Technical details
Plain text is a sequence of character codes without a required markup or page-layout structure; encoding and line endings are external conventions. [1]
Background and compatibility
Text is intentionally interoperable but underspecified by its extension, so encoding and newline style may need to be identified separately. [1]
