Text Only refers to a format that contains only text with no multimedia, links, or interactive elements. Unlike Plain Text, the term “Text Only” is sometimes used in web or email contexts to describe versions of content where all non-text elements (such as images or videos) have been removed to ensure accessibility for those who cannot access media or graphics. While often synonymous with Plain Text, “Text Only” is typically associated with environments where multimedia might otherwise be present and removed for accessibility purposes.
