To me, having only text as the output with no ads, videos, or images is “text-only”. It doesn’t matter how it’s presented as long as it’s just text. But I also see your perspective. You want plain defaults with white background color, black foreground color, and no formatting. | | |
| ▲ | subdavis 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | This thread is about text the MIME type. It’s not a subjective definition. > The rules are simple - content which has the MIME type of text/plain. No HTML, no multimedia, no RTF, no XML, no ANSI colour escape sequences. Your definition is fine for you, but it’s not what TFA is about. | | |
| ▲ | abejfehr 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I feel like the article should've been called "plaintext-only websites" or something, because if you had asked me I would've also defined "text-only" as image/video-less websites |
