Plaintext

A text file or document that contains only text and is capable of being viewed in any text editor. An example of a plaintext editor and viewer is Microsoft Notepad, although Microsoft WordPad and Word could also be used to view plaintext. Unlike a rich text document a plaintext document cannot have bold text, fonts, larger font sizes, or any other special text formatting.
