Hi James,
>Plain text has no formatting< To?some of us "plain text" means per the ancient ASCII standard.? That was American Standards Code?for Information Interchange.? I don't have a copy at hand but believe it included some, but very little, formatting, ie . end of line and?page break but no?bold, italics,?underline, font changes, etc.?? had only 128 symbols, ie. 7 bits.? Then IBM expanded it to an 8 bit code but the additions were mostly foreign letters plus "typewriter graphics".? ?
