02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Every line break is kept, and a blank line starts a new paragraph
- Columns lined up with spaces or tabs keep their alignment in a monospaced block
- UTF-8 and UTF-16 files are read directly, and old Windows code pages (including Cyrillic Windows-1251) are detected automatically
- GitHub-style Markdown (tables use | pipes) for README files, notes apps, static sites and documentation
Good to know
- Nothing in the text is turned into formatting. A # or * you typed stays exactly as you typed it, it does not become a heading or a list.
- Files up to 300 MB are accepted.

TXT vs MD
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
MD
A Markdown (MD) file is plain text with lightweight formatting syntax (#, **bold**, lists) — the standard for documentation, READMEs, and technical writing that needs to stay readable as raw text.
Used in: Documentation · READMEs · Technical writing · Static site generators
