have a lot of files that contains data in plain text format with different extensions -- things like .cfg, .dat and .tex. However, those files are not recognized by the Quick Look viewer.

For example, TeXShop is an application that writes Latex files in plain-text with the .tex extension. If you want to see these .tex files with Quick Look, conrol-click on TexShop.app in the Finder and chose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Navigate into Contents, then open Info.plist with TextEdit and add the public.plain-text string to the UTTypeConformsTo key as follows:
