context_page_description: LibreOffice is a free and open-source office suite, a project of The Document Foundation. It was forked in 2010 from OpenOffice.org, which was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice. The LibreOffice suite consists of programs for word processing, creating and editing of spreadsheets, slideshows, diagrams and drawings, working with databases, and composing mathematical formulae. It is available in 115 languages.
  As its native file format to save documents for all of its applications, LibreOffice uses the Open Document Format for Office Applications, or OpenDocument, an international standard developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission. LibreOffice also supports the file formats of most other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, through a variety of import and export filters.
  LibreOffice is available for a variety of computing platforms, including Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux, Android and iOS, as well as in the form of an online office suite LibreOffice Online. It is the default office suite of most popular Linux distributions.
