[[Ascii85]], '''ASCII base-85''', or '''Base85''', is a binary-to-text encoding originally implemented by Paul Rutter in the 'btoa' program. It is similar in concept to [[Base64]] and [[Uuencoding|Uuencode]]. A slight modification of it is used in [[PDF]] and [[PostScript]] files. It is also used in the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mktags/ MkTags Matroska tag editor]. There are several varieties of this encoding.

== Identification ==
In the original [[uuencoding]]-like format used by 'btoa', the encoded data is delimited by lines that begin with "<code>xbtoa Begin</code>" and "<code>xbtoa End</code>".

In PostScript, the "<code><~</code>" delimiter marks the beginning of an ASCII base-85 string literal. The "<code>~></code>" EOD marker is added by the ASCII85Encode filter when it is closed, hence it should be regarded as being part of the encoded data. Outside of PostScript, there is no official delimiter to mark the beginning of ASCII base-85 encoded data. In PDF it doesn't matter, since the data (including the EOD marker) is stored in a stream object.
