Convert DBK to GIF

The DBK file extension stands for DocBook Technical Document, a semantic markup language used for creating technical documentation in a format-neutral way. Initially developed for computer hardware and software documentation, it allows content to be easily converted into various formats like HTML and PDF. DocBook has become a standard for technical documentation due to its flexibility and open-source nature.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
