Convert LWP to XML JATS

The LWP file extension stands for Lotus Word Pro Document, a file format used by the Lotus Word Pro word processing program, part of the Lotus SmartSuite. Developed by IBM, it was widely used for creating, saving, and sharing documents with rich text features, including graphs, charts, and formulas. Although now considered obsolete, LWP files can still be converted to modern formats like Microsoft Word.

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.
