TXT Format Hub
Plain text (.txt) files are the most fundamental document format, containing only raw characters without any styling or metadata. Universally supported across operating systems and programming languages, they underpin logs, configuration files, source code, and data exports. Use sample .txt files to verify text encoding handling (UTF-8, ASCII, ISO-8859-1), line ending normalization (LF vs. CRLF), streaming-read performance, and sanitization routines in command-line tools and logging frameworks.

Implementation Notes
Use the manifest endpoint for deterministic fixture selection in CI, then validate MIME/type detection against actual parser output.
If this format appears in multiple categories, prefer category-specific hub pages to keep test assumptions aligned with real usage.
