PDFs and JPEGs are the standards for 'digital documents'. I expect they still will be in 30 more years because they're "good enough".
Other than plaintext, are there any others?
- ldenoue 2y agoSo that would explain why people are interested in tools that help manipulate pdf files?
- fragmede 2y agoHTML comes to mind, but mobi/epub seems to be popular for ebooks. Then there's also docx, which is a standard these days.
- kartoffelmos 2y agoProblem with docx is that there's no real way to _just_ view a file. I don't really want to spin up an entire word processor just to read the meeting minutes. I honestly much prefer a PDF to docx.
- fragmede 2y agoSomeone could make a docx viewer easily enough if there was demand for it. it's just an xml file inside a zip file with the contents. it's no LaTeX but it's serviceable.
