About HTML and ODS

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the markup language web pages are built from — structured text with links, images, and styling defined by tags.

ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open ISO-standard spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice Calc.

What to expect: HTML carries little to no formatting of its own, so the ODS output will start plain — you can add styling afterward in a compatible editor.
