From the 70's to 2007 the open source .txt filename extension format commonly referred to plain text documents encoded using the ASCII character set. To support internationalization and localization, .txt text documents are today text files encoded using the UTF-8 or UTF-16LE standard which is a superset of the ASCII character set. Text documents of type .txt typically have minimal formatting for example no support for bold or italic characters or support for bullet points etc. This allows .txt documents to use minimum storage space and be platform independent as long as the operating system supports the underlying encoding character set used to create the .txt document. On windows .txt file support has existed since 1985 when Windows 1.0 was released and since then has been mostly associated with the notepad application on Microsoft Windows.
The .rb extension is used for many formats which include definition files based on the Fuzzy rule, eBook files of the Rocket Edition, class files of Ruby on Rails, project files of REALbasic and the profile configuration files of Rosebud. Other versions of Ruby which are also called gems include Mongrel, Capistrano and Ruby on Rails.
