RTF vs TXT
RTF
An RTF file is a lightly-formatted text format (bold, italic, fonts, basic layout) that almost any word processor can open, designed specifically for cross-application compatibility.
Used in: Cross-application documents · Legacy word processors
TXT
A TXT file is plain, unformatted text — no fonts, no styling, no structure beyond line breaks. The simplest and most universal document format there is, readable by literally anything.
Used in: Plain notes · Logs · Universal compatibility
