About TXT and HTML

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

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

What to expect: TXT carries little to no formatting of its own, so the HTML output will start plain — you can add styling afterward in a compatible editor.
