Very plain text! But I'm not sure what the point was.

What is the definition of plain text? There is hardly any such thing
The browser will happily render text files, but +1 for it shouldn't require js. =)

? A series of unicode characters with no graphics or code beyond the application (here, a web browser) that displays it. It's quite common, I'd argue.
So HTML then with no js?
Sounds about right
In this case I meant you can use plain old text to render a webpage… which is what you do anyway but I thought I’d make up another way that people who love text but don’t code might find useful.
In this context? Scripts not required to view the page.
