"Interestingly, a text exchange format gets more useful when more applications support it. This should be obvious :)

"To speed up ODF recognition Qt 4.5 will ship with an ODF writer. Qt’s text module turns into a one stop document generation API where you can use QTextCursor to create your document via a nice API and you can then export the created QTextDocument to ODF ready to be opened by any opendocument implementation. Naturally exporting to plain text and html are still supported, as is printing to PDF."
