About the formats
What is TXT?
TXT is the plain-text format: raw characters with no formatting, styles or embedded objects. Because it makes no assumptions about the reader, a TXT file opens in any text editor, terminal, phone or device. It is the most compatible format that exists.
Use TXT for notes, logs, code and any content that must remain readable in every tool, now and in the future. Choose plain text when you need universal compatibility and have no need for formatting.
Plain Text (TXT)What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you write formatted documents in plain text using simple symbols. The same file reads clearly as text and renders as styled HTML, making it popular for documentation, README files and notes. It is also widely used to feed clean text to large language models.
Use Markdown for content that should be readable as plain text but publishable with formatting, README files, documentation, wikis, notes and posts. Write it anywhere, and it stays usable forever because the source is plain text.
