'''Photoshop Text Engine Data''' (also called '''EngineData''') refers to a data format primarily used as a component of Adobe Photoshop [[PSD]] format. It is presumably used for the editable text elements.

== Format details ==
The format looks a little like [[PDF]], but only a little.

Although it is a text-based format, it contains text in multiple incompatible [[character encoding]]s (perhaps [[ASCII]] and [[UTF-16]]), so it may have to be treated as a binary format.

The format uses "<code><<</code>" and "<code>>></code>" to delimit hierarchical data structures. Keywords are introduced by a "<code>/</code>" character. Examples of keywords are "EngineDict", "ResourceDict", and "ParagraphRun".

The format can be found in at least two different places in a PSD file:
# In a ''tagged block'' whose key is "Txt2"
# In a ''descriptor'' item whose key is "EngineData"
