Common mistakes to avoid
- Attendre que la mise en forme soit conservée : seul le texte brut est extrait.
- Perdre l'ordre logique des sections (texte autour des tableaux et images).
- Encodage non UTF-8 à l'export : caractères spéciaux cassés.
Pro tips
- Utile pour analyse linguistique, comptage de mots ou import dans un outil tiers.
- Choisissez UTF-8 pour préserver tous les accents et caractères non latins.
- Pour un export structuré, préférez l'export en Markdown plutôt qu'en .txt brut.
