Well, plain text is too plain. There isn't much layout, but there is
some. For pdf I must buy a program that I don't think I need. At
least I didn't think so until now. Do I? I thought rtf was pretty
open. At least Mac and Windows users can share them. Who else cannot?
TextEdit on my Mac offers to save in rtf, html, Word and Word XML
formats, in that order. Are any of these usable? I am not deeply
familiar with these concepts. Until very recently I have exclusively
used WYSIWYG programs in editing my home pages. (And I guess it shows.)
