Convert HWPX (Hanword) to TEI

HWPX (Hangul Word Processor XML) is an advanced document format used by Hanword, developed by Hancom. It serves as an XML-based alternative to the proprietary HWP format, enhancing interoperability and accessibility. Introduced to improve document structure and compatibility, HWPX enables easier data exchange, integration with various applications, and better support for modern document processing workflows. It is widely used in South Korea for official documents, offering structured content representation while maintaining the rich formatting capabilities of Hanword.

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), established in 1987, is a standard for encoding machine-readable texts in the humanities and social sciences. TEI files, typically XML-based, are used to represent complex textual data, ensuring interoperability and preservation. The initiative aims to provide a comprehensive framework for text encoding, widely adopted by academic projects, libraries, and digital archives.
