Any word on whether it’ll actually write ODF, even if not as default? IIRC OnlyOffice doesn’t write ODF

    Yeah, looks like my Ubuntu copy of OnlyOffice only writes ODT or OTT, not ODF.

    ODF is the name of the formats not the extension.

    .ODF is listed as an extension for "formulae, mathematical equations" on that Wikipedia page.

    People tend to mix ODT with ODF so I jumped to a conclusion, sorry about that.

    OnlyOffice indeed doesn't support .ODF because it doesn't natively support any open document format and convert from MS formats to open formats (learned this today actually) and since MS Office doesn't have a math format like LibreOffice it's expected that OnlyOffice doesn't support .ODF at all. It's quite interesting. I didn't know that LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are fundamentally different like this.

    May I ask what are you talking about? Of course they support OpenDocumentFormat as you can see here. ODF is not the extension, it's the name of the formats.

    OnlyOffice does not natively support ODF, only after conversion ODF files can be viewed and edited: https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/docs/userguides/document_editor/supportedformats.aspx The page doesn't say anything about writing, so it may not be possible

    Huh, didn't actually know that it doesn't support ODF natively. Thanks for making me notice this.

    So that's why it shows MS Office files better than LibreOffice. It doesn't use ODF as its base.
