Plain text

In computing, plain text is textual material in a computer file which is unformatted and without very much processing readable by simple computer tools such as line printing text commands, in Windows'es DOS window type, and in Unix terminal window cat. This means that there are neither structural tags, such as chapter marks and heading marks around text segments, nor typographic markers such as bold face.
