CHM eBook Format

CHM Converter

Microsoft Compiled HTML Help files use the extension .chm. They contain compressed help documentation in an HTML format that can open in web browsers and Microsoft HTML Help Executable. Like other HTML files, CHM files can contain images as well as text and links. Previously, CHM files were quite common as download links on websites; however, they could be vulnerable to hackers. Microsoft has also confirmed that it will not be adding any extra features to Help.

For security and accessibility, most websites now have help sections using search functions or dropdown FAQs rather than needing additional downloads. While you can open CHM files with an internet browser, most companies advise caution unless the source is trusted. However, Microsoft programs still use the format and you can open a CHM file on a Windows computer by double-clicking on the file. The CHM format is also sometimes used now for ebook files, and you can open this type of CHM file with Calibre’s ereader software.

TXT Document Format

TXT Converter

The TXT file format, also called the Plain Text File format, was developed by Tim Berners-Lee - the inventor of the World Wide Web. Unlike other document file types, such as .DOC, the TXT file format just stores plain text, so it can't contain complex formatting, images or other multimedia. TXT files are used to write memos, letters, manuscripts and other text-based content, as well as for encoding and storing data. Because of their simplicity, they don’t support formatting features such as font changes or colour edits, so if you want to make your file look a little more attractive you’ll need to use a different word processing application.

Part of the appeal of the TXT format is that the files are extremely small in size, easy to create, edit and share, and are compatible with almost any device and operating system. Apple’s Notepad and Microsoft’s TextEdit can both be used to create TXT files, and you can open TXT files with any text-editing application and most internet browsers.
