# Other exports

Besides the [bundle](/chit/), a meeting exports as Markdown, plain text and Word, and its receipt copies to the clipboard. These are for reading. They hold the meeting as it stands, not its history, and they cannot be imported back.

The file is named after the meeting's title: `launch-review.md`, `launch-review.txt`, `launch-review.docx`.

> Dates and times in these files are written the way the exporting browser writes them, so they differ from one machine to the next. If you need exact times, read the [bundle](/chit/).

How to read it:

- The sections always come in this order. **Notes** is left out when there are none. An empty section says `_None_`.
- A ticked box is an item a person accepted. An unticked one also ends in `suggested`.
- After an item, in brackets: its owner, then `due` and a date or the words as spoken, then `suggested`. Each part is there only if it applies.
- Each transcript line is the speaker in bold, the time in backticks, and the words on the next line. A name ending in `?` is a guess nobody confirmed. [The four labels](/chit/read/#how-chitmonk-labels-a-line).
- Times are `m:ss` from the start of the recording, or `h:mm:ss` past an hour.
- Characters that mean something in Markdown are escaped with a backslash.

## Plain text

The same content without markup, and the transcript as one line per line:
