raw text
Unprocessed written data
Raw text is written content without formatting, markup, or special encoding—just the characters themselves.
It contrasts with styled text that includes fonts, colors, or layout information: The email arrived as raw text, stripping out all the HTML formatting.
In computing, raw text files contain no hidden codes, making them readable across different systems.
