Last modified: Monday, May 18, 1998 

Refers to textual data in ASCII format. Plain text is the most portable format because it is supported by nearly every application on every machine. It is quite limited, however, because it cannot contain any formatting commands.

In cryptography, plain text refers to any message that is not encrypted. Contrast with cipher text.

Plain text is also called clear text.
