Convert FODT to LTX

The FODT file extension stands for OpenDocument Flat XML Document, primarily used for text documents. These files contain plain XML text, which makes them more accessible for version control and easier to integrate with software systems. OpenDocument, initially developed by OASIS in 2005, provides an open standard for office documents, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across various applications. FODT files, a subset of this standard, offer a simplified and flexible format for document exchange and storage, enhancing collaboration and consistency in document management within professional IT environments.

An LTX file is a LaTeX Document. It contains LaTeX typesetting markup tags and properties that define the document structure and content. Primarily used in academia for creating scientific papers and journal articles, LTX files are plain text documents that can be edited with any text editor, though specialized LaTeX editors like MiKTeX and TeXworks offer helpful syntax highlighting. LaTeX, developed in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport, is widely used for its precision in document formatting.
