@irina @fwam Well, then I just refuse tofollow a shitty standard.
#OpenDocument works with everything and #OOXML doesn't.
I also use #PDF if I want a consistent layout or something people should just fill out like a form.
If we always oriented #tech on a shitty standard, we'd have #SquareWheels on cars because circles are harder to make accurately....

See the [allegedly Ford] quote of the "faster horses"...
@kkarhan here's the thing
the standard is as shitty on both sides
OOXML barely works on LibreOffice, and ODT barely works on M$
Generally, both standards are shit, because they're overmade, heavily.
But the thing is, you can't just „refuse” to use a standard widely used in industry, because that'd be absurd.
PDFs are the closest to doing shit, but it's basically read-only. Unless you want just forms, but... that's not what PDFs are for, anyway.
If you need collab work, you just have to use M$, unless the employer you're working for is using a different standard.
Personally, I use md anyway, the easiest to maintain, the most idiot-proof
