About the formats

What is ODT?

ODT (OpenDocument Text) is an open standard for word processor documents and the native format of LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice Writer. Because the specification is open, the format is supported by many applications beyond the two suites that created it. It is a popular, vendor-neutral alternative to proprietary word processor formats.

Use ODT when you work in LibreOffice, OpenOffice or another program that favours open standards, or when you want documents that are not locked to one vendor. ODT is also a safe interchange format between different office suites.

OpenDocument Text (ODT)

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you write formatted documents in plain text using simple symbols. The same file reads clearly as text and renders as styled HTML, making it popular for documentation, README files and notes. It is also widely used to feed clean text to large language models.

Use Markdown for content that should be readable as plain text but publishable with formatting, README files, documentation, wikis, notes and posts. Write it anywhere, and it stays usable forever because the source is plain text.
