Convert HTML to ODT

Understanding HTML and ODT file formats

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and design web pages. It structures content on the web and is widely used for creating websites and web applications. HTML files are text files containing tags that define the structure and layout of a web document.

ODT (Open Document Text) is a file format used by word processing applications like LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice. It is part of the Open Document Format (ODF) family, which is an open standard for documents. ODT files are used for storing text documents with formatting, images, and other elements.
