About formats

DOT is the binary template format for Microsoft Word, using the same OLE2 compound document structure as DOC files. A DOT file contains a complete document framework — styles, page layout, margins, headers and footers, boilerplate text, macros, AutoText entries, toolbar customizations, and keyboard shortcuts — that serves as a reusable foundation for creating new documents with consistent formatting. When a user creates a new document based on a DOT template, Word generates a fresh untitled DOC pre-populated with the template's content and styling while leaving the original template file unmodified. The format supports every feature available in DOC, including complex formatting, embedded objects, form fields, and VBA macro code. The Normal.dot file holds particular significance as Word's global template, storing default styles, macros, and customizations that apply to all new blank documents. DOT templates became essential to enterprise document management, ensuring that legal contracts, business letters, technical reports, and corporate communications consistently adhered to organizational formatting standards. One advantage is brand and compliance consistency — distributing DOT files across an organization guarantees uniform document appearance without relying on individual users to manually configure styles and layouts. While the XML-based DOTX format has replaced DOT for modern workflows, the binary template format remains in use in environments requiring Word 97-2003 compatibility and in legacy template libraries.

FB2 (FictionBook) is an XML-based ebook format created by Dmitry Gribov in 2004, designed to provide a clean semantic description of a book's content independent of its visual presentation. Unlike page-layout formats, FB2 encodes structure — title, authors, chapters, annotations, genres, epigraphs, poems, footnotes, and binary attachments (typically cover images) — within a single well-formed XML document. This structural approach means reading applications have full control over rendering, allowing the same file to adapt perfectly to a small phone screen or a large e-ink reader. FB2 became enormously popular in Russia and Eastern Europe, serving as the dominant format on major Russian digital libraries and ebook distribution platforms. One significant advantage is metadata richness: the format's schema mandates detailed bibliographic information including author, translator, series position, publication date, and genre classification, making library management and discovery straightforward. The plain-text XML foundation is another strength — FB2 files are human-readable, easy to validate, and simple to transform using standard XML tools like XSLT. The format specification is freely available on GitHub, and a wide ecosystem of readers, editors, and converters supports it across all major platforms, from desktop applications like Calibre to dedicated e-readers with native FB2 rendering.
