.TXT File Description

.txt is a filename extension for files consisting of text with very little formatting (ex: no bolding or italics). This kind of text format is also called a plain text file to differentiate them from other kinds of binary files, which, at the time the distinction was made, were not supposed to have human readable text. The precise definition of the .txt format is not specified, but typically matches the format accepted by the system terminal or simple text editor. Files with the .txt extension can easily be read or opened by any program that reads text and, for that reason, are considered universal.
