Source format

What is TEX?

LaTeX Source (.tex). A .tex file is LaTeX source: plain text with commands that the TeX typesetting system turns into a finished document. It is the standard for mathematics and scientific papers; converting covers text, structure and maths, while custom packages and macros may not carry over.

Common use: Scientific papers, theses, mathematics

Output format

What is TXT?

Plain Text (.txt). TXT is plain text with no formatting at all. Every device opens it, so converting a document to TXT is the simplest way to get at its words, at the cost of headings, tables and pictures.

Common use: Notes, logs, extracting the text of a document
