ODT vs MD at a glance
ODT is the open-standard word processor format — LibreOffice and OpenOffice's default, built on the same ZIP-plus-XML idea as DOCX but under an open, royalty-free spec. MD is the developer's writing format — plain text with simple syntax that renders as formatted HTML, used everywhere from GitHub to documentation sites.
