TXT and HTML explained
Plain text is characters and nothing else — no fonts, no sizes, no layout. It is the most durable digital format there is, readable by every computer built in the last fifty years.
HTML is the markup language of the web, describing document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links — which browsers then render.
- Where TXT files come from
