Convert DOC (Word) to DBK

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

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.
