Convert DOTM to XML

The DOTM file extension represents "Microsoft Word Macro-Enabled Document Template". It is used to create standardized, reusable templates that include custom macros to automate repetitive tasks, enhancing productivity and consistency in document creation. Introduced with Microsoft Office 2007, DOTM files combine the benefits of templates and macros, encapsulating complex formatting, layout, and script execution in one file. This macro-enabled feature allows IT professionals to streamline processes, ensuring efficiency and uniformity across documents.

XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a widely used file extension in computer technology. It is designed to store and transport data, enabling structured information exchange between different systems. XML files are both human- and machine-readable, making them versatile for various applications, including web services, configuration files, and data storage. Originating in the 1990s, XML was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to simplify data interchange and ensure platform independence. Its flexibility and extensibility have made it a standard in many IT environments, fostering seamless integration and data sharing across diverse platforms.
