Convert DOTM to XML JATS

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.

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML file extension is pivotal in digital publishing. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. JATS, an NISO standard, was designed to tag and structure the content of scholarly articles. Initially derived from NLM (National Library of Medicine) DTDs in the early 2000s, JATS ensures consistent formatting and metadata tagging for articles, facilitating efficient indexing, searchability, and interoperability across various databases and platforms. Its use in the academic and scientific community supports robust archiving and seamless dissemination of knowledge.
