About HTML and TXT

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the markup language web pages are built from — structured text with links, images, and styling defined by tags.

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

What to expect: TXT doesn't support everything HTML does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
