Convert HWP (Hanword) to XML JATS

The HWP file extension stands for Hangul Word Processor, a document format used by Hancom's Hangul (now Hanword) software, popular in South Korea for creating and editing documents in Korean. Initially released in 1989, HWP files support text, graphics, and formatting, making them versatile for various document types. They are widely used by South Korean government agencies, educational institutions, and businesses. The HWP format is considered legacy, and Hancom has introduced HWPX as its modern successor, offering improved compatibility and XML-based structure for better interoperability.

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.
