Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure HTML files are fully loaded and not referencing missing external resources to avoid incomplete TXT output

Limitations

- No, the tool only extracts plain text content. All styling, images, and layout details are removed during conversion.
- Will the TXT file include hyperlinks from the HTML?
- Hyperlinks are converted to plain text, which means URLs may appear as text but lose their clickable or semantic context.
- What text encodings are supported in the TXT output?
- TXT files typically use common character encodings like ASCII, UTF-8, or UTF-16, but encoding differences may require verification to ensure compatibility.
