A document file format is a text or binary file format for storing documents on a storage media, especially for use by computers. There currently exist a multitude of incompatible document file formats.A rough consensus has been established that XML is to be the basis for future document file formats. Open XML-based standards include DocBook and, more recently, the ISO/IEC standards OpenDocument, Office Open XML.In 1993 the ITU-T tried to establish a standard for document file formats, known as the Open Document Architecture which was supposed to replace all competing document file formats. It is described in ITU-T documents T.411 through T.421, which are equivalent to ISO 8613. It did not succeed.Page description languages such as PostScript and PDF have become the de facto-standard for documents that a typical user should only be able to create and read, not edit. In 2001 the PDF format has become also the international ISO/IEC standard.HTML is the most used and open international standard and it is also used as document file format. It has become also ISO/IEC standard.
