TSV at a glance

TSV

TSV emerged as a pragmatic convention in data processing and spreadsheet exchange rather than as a richly standardized office format.

NCX at a glance

NCX

NCX was defined in the 2005 DAISY and ANSI-NISO talking-book standard, then carried forward into EPUB 2 and later treated as a legacy compatibility feature once EPUB 3 introduced XHTML navigation documents.
