I have generated the plain text version of the Emacs manual with the 
command:

     makeinfo --plaintext --no-split emacs.texi --output=emacs.txt

What format is the generated text file?

Thank you.

Plain text, of course.  Or maybe I don't understand the question.

Hahaha! Right.  I meant: it looks like a lightweight markup format, but 
it is neither Markdown, nor any other markup format that I happen to know.

That's right, it's not a markup.  It uses some conventions to express
markup, generally taken from the Info files.
