What is TXT?

TXT

TXT stores plain text using character encodings like ASCII (7-bit), UTF-8 (variable width), or UTF-16 (fixed width). No formatting, styles, fonts, or embedded objects—just raw character data with line breaks. Universal compatibility across all platforms and text editors. Extremely small file sizes. Maximum size limited by file system (typically multiple gigabytes possible). The simplest, most portable document format.

  • TXT stores editable documents with text, formatting, and embedded content

What is MD?

MD

Markdown is a lightweight markup language using plain text with simple syntax for formatting. Created by John Gruber in 2004. Uses characters like # (headers), ** (bold), * (lists) for structure. Human-readable in plain text form. Converts easily to HTML, PDF, or DOCX. Multiple flavors exist (CommonMark, GitHub Flavored, MultiMarkdown). Extremely portable and version-control friendly. Maximum size limited by text editor.
