RTF is also plain text. That is, might be written in a TXT editor; then
saved with 'rtf' extension, and open and read in a word processor.
Look at the source of an .rtf document and check it out yourself. For
instance, this down is a source of a brief .rtf file (written in Rough
Draft; the same one written in MS word processor would "treat" you with
almost 10 times bigger file[t but not mignon, although fatty]):
///START
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang2074{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Times New
Roman;}}
{\*\generator Riched20 5.40.11.2210;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1033\f0\fs24 Mica
\i writes\i0 \b something\b0 .\par
\par
And he is \ul doing\ulnone it quite finely.\par
}
\\\END(E)
See, all is the plain text. (-:
You might save this part above with extension 'rtf', and open and read
in a word processor seeing the fine italicized, underlined and bolded
parts.
