# Text Help

The Text plug-in is able to read files in RTF and plain text format. It divides the content into lines and displays those lines in Tigger's scrolling area.

Lines are displayed in the same order in which they appear in the text file. Lines from multiple files are intermixed.

Use UTF8 character encoding when saving files for the best experience. While there's a chance that other encodings may work, it can't be guaranteed.

## Preferences

Files are added using the Files pane of the Text plug-in's preferences dialog:

Files Preferences

Since RTF text may already have color applied, the text color setting does affect plain text files only.

If Track Changes is checked, Text will pick up any changes to the files as soon as it needs to read the next line.
