? 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.

In this context? Scripts not required to view the page.

The browser will happily render text files, but +1 for it shouldn't require js. =)

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.
