Plain text file is my favorite file format... because in the end, portability is what matters the most.
- gjvr 6y agoASCII? UTF-8? UTF-16? ... ...
- Triv888 6y agolol... yes. UTF-512 should be enough for everybody!
- _kst_ 6y agoUTF-640K?
- user-the-name 6y agoShift-JIS? GB18030? KOI8-R? "Plain text" does not really exist.
- Dylan16807 6y agoAnyone using the words "plain text" for a file had better mean either ASCII or UTF-8. And for almost all purposes these days it should be the latter.
- Arnt 6y agoBy plain text, do you have in mind CRLF or LF, and for structured data, do you have in mind YAML, JSON or one of the umpty others?
