OverviewRTF is a file format which can be used to write text. This saved file can be used at different operating systems which means it supports cross-platform document Interchange. Most of the word processors support this format, thereby, one can easily read and write. It should be noted that it is meant solely for the addition of text, hence, no videos, images and audios can be added to this file. Although, a standardized file consists of only 7-bit ASCII, yet, by using escape sequences it can encode other characters as well. The formatting in it is very simple that is why the non-RTF program can open this file and make it readable for the users. An example of the same is Notepad. Most of the versions support interoperability which means that it can work with other products or OS.
Technical descriptionThe syntax of RTF is dominated by the TeX typesetting language. This format is completely different from the enriched text (media type ‘text/enriched' of RFC 1896), its forerunner Rich text (media type ‘text/enriched' of RFC 1341 and 1521) and IBM's RFT-DCA (Revisable format text document content architecture) and it possesses varied specifications. There are few extensions of images that are supported by it. It includes JPEG, PNG, EMF (Enhanced Metafile), WMF (Windows metafile) ; etc. In addition to this, it is programmed using groups (enclosed within braces i.e. opening brace tells about the initiation of the group and closing brace indicates the end of it), a control word (programmed commands like \b0 coveys that the bold text is off, \b1 tells that the bold text is on) and a delimiter (it can be either space, digit or hyphen or character).

ODT Technical Specifications

File extension.odt
File categoryDocument file
Stands forOpenDocument Text
DeveloperSun Microsystems
OverviewAnother name for ODT is Open document format for office applications i.e. ODF. It is a Zip compressed Extensible Markup Language (XML) based open format. It is a substitute for Microsoft’s office and used for creating spreadsheets, charts, presentation and other word processing documents. As it is an open software that is why there is no need to get a license, it is free of cost. A number of files and directories that have binary content can be compressed using ZIP's lossless compression and which in result lessens the size of the file. In opendocument, there is one advantage of the separation of concerns which means, there can be distinct sections that address information separately of varied type. It may include content, styles, metadata and application settings as well.
Technical descriptionBased on the Sun Microsystems specification for OpenOffice.org, it was created by a technical committee under the OASIS (Organization for the advancement of structured information standards) association. However, the original developer was StarOffice which intended to provide open software for office documents. It was also released under the ISO/IEC international standard ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard. Furthermore, there are many extensions that are used in Opendocument. This includes .odt and .fodt for word processing documents, .ods and .fods for spreadsheets, .odp and .fodp for presentations, .odg and .fodg for graphics and finally .odf for formulae in mathematics. Besides this, this format is available both as free and proprietary software. AbiWord, Adobe Buzzword, Microsoft office-2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019, LibreOffice; etc are few examples of softwares that either fully or partially support this format.
