What is Rich Text?
Rich text is a text file with the ability to have bold, italic, and underlined text, and multiple fonts, and colors. WellsEdit was made for making high quality, 32-bit rich text files, but also can save into plain text files, plain text cannot have bold, italic, and underlined text, colors, or multiple fonts. What allows rich text to have these features is commands inserted into the text that define what fonts, colors, and special text are used and where.
