ODT vs TXT 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. TXT is the simplest document format — just characters, no formatting, readable by every application on every platform since the dawn of computing.
