Common mistakes to avoid
- Attendre que la mise en forme soit conservée : le .txt ne stocke que du texte brut.
- Perdre les tableaux et images sans s'y attendre.
- Mauvais encodage à l'export : caractères accentués cassés (UTF-8 obligatoire).
Pro tips
- Le .txt est parfait pour récupérer du contenu brut à recoller dans un autre outil.
- Choisissez l'encodage UTF-8 pour conserver les accents et caractères spéciaux.
- Idéal pour traiter un texte avec un script ou un outil d'analyse linguistique.
