Plain text anyone?

What's is the problem with using plain text? Yes, I know ascii art does not convey images very well, so there is a place for rich text/pdf documentation. However, the majority of PDFs I have viewed are text only.

The more functionality that is embedded in RTF/PDF documentation the greater the chance of an exploitable bug. Obvious I know, but some documenters need to have this bashed into their form over function mentality.

If the documentation contains plain text only then why fugg around with a buggy and exploitable platform such as PDF?

Looking good and actually being good are not the same thing.
