What is TXT?
TXT is plain, unformatted text encoded in ASCII, UTF-8 or another character set, with no styling, layout or embedded objects. It is the most universal document format, readable by every operating system and text editor, and is used for notes, logs, source data and configuration.
TXT files are stored uncompressed. Nothing is lost to encoding, though they can take more disk space than compressed formats.
TXT is an open standard.
