The Open Document Text filename extension format is an alternative open source document and text processing file format allowing users to create text documents that can be opened and edited by an extensive list of document processing applications. Both proprietary applications (such as in Microsoft Office word) and open source document processing applications (such as OpenOffice) support the .odt filename extension allowing for interoperability between software systems. The format is useful to those creating documents meant to target a wide audience and not necessarily an audience with a specific document processing suite. The extension was first released in 2005.
The .lit filename extension, short for literature, is a proprietary filename extension of the eBook file format LIT developed by Microsoft. The format was initially released in 2000 and at the time was only compatible with Microsoft Reader. Though DRM support was one of the strong selling points of the LIT format, wide spread DRM circumvention discounted its utility in favor for competing open formats. This among other reasons caused Microsoft to officially discontinue support for the format by 2011 and cease further sales of eBooks based on the format completely by 2012.

Extended from an XML based file format for documents, .odt was standardized as an open source format for text document processing in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 in 2005 by the OASIS consortium. The filename extension is primarily associated with Apache OpenOffice Suite. As a format, .odt supports several predefined and user customizable metadata fields such as document statistics, title, subject etc. It possesses advanced document processing capabilities such as lists, headings, and numbered paragraphs. Other features include auto generated tables such as bibliographies, indexes, and table of contents.
The LIT format was extended from Microsoft's compiled HTML help format. The format includes support for digital rights management to enforce copyright material. This is however an optional feature. The format had no support for editing or exporting but in later years software programs were developed that allowed LIT files to be converted into formats that supported these features.
