It is a plain text file, just text, no graphics, no formatting, no colours or anything like that. It is just for when the text is important, not how it looks. Web pages and programs and data are often in plain text files. Applications like Notepad are used to create text files.

A text file is a file, usually opened in Notepad or Wordpad, with the file extension .txt

It is pretty much like a regualr document, but is just text, no pictures or fancy fonts and stuff.

How do you convert the HTML file in to text file?

All HTML files are text files. You can open them with any text editor, such as Notepad. When a browser opens the file, it reads it and displays the html as a web page. If you open a html file in a text editor or a word processor or other such application, you will see the actual html code, which is just ordinary text. So you don't need to convert HTML files into text, as they are already text files. All you need is something to open them with, other than a browser.


How can you create HTML files?

HTML files are in their essence simply text files that are written in this code language called "HTML". To make programs recognize the text files as web documents, they are called .htm files. So in short, to create an HTML file, simply create a text file using Notepad, save it and change the file name to "xyz.htm" or "xyz.html" instead of "xyz.txt".
