From the 70's to 2007 the open source .txt filename extension format commonly referred to plain text documents encoded using the ASCII character set. To support internationalization and localization, .txt text documents are today text files encoded using the UTF-8 or UTF-16LE standard which is a superset of the ASCII character set. Text documents of type .txt typically have minimal formatting for example no support for bold or italic characters or support for bullet points etc. This allows .txt documents to use minimum storage space and be platform independent as long as the operating system supports the underlying encoding character set used to create the .txt document. On windows .txt file support has existed since 1985 when Windows 1.0 was released and since then has been mostly associated with the notepad application on Microsoft Windows.
The Open Document spreadsheet filename extension format is an alternative open source spreadsheet file format and is part of the larger OpenDocument family of open source file formats. The format is associated with documents where tabular or spreadsheet information is represented. Several proprietary and open source applications are compatible with the format, allowing for interoperability between software systems that support the OpenDocument format. Proprietary applications such as in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and above can open .ods files however certain proprietary features in Microsoft Office Excel may not be compatible with the format. Other open source spreadsheet applications (such as OpenOffice) support the .ods filename extension in its entirety.

Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16LE) is the defacto character encoding set for .txt files. It is supported by all major operating systems, with many having native applications that can open .txt documents.
The ods file format extends the XML based file format for spreadsheets. It was standardized as an open source format for spreadsheet type documents in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 in 2005 by the OASIS consortium. It supports spreadsheet features such as OLE objects, hyperlinks, cell formating as well as advanced features such as cell formulas.
