Convert WRI to XML JATS

The WRI file extension stands for Microsoft Write Document, a text document format created using Microsoft Write, a basic word processor included in early versions of Windows (Windows 1.0 to Windows NT 3.51). WRI files typically contain styled text and page formatting information, such as formatted letters or resumes. Microsoft discontinued Write with the release of Windows 95, replacing it with Microsoft WordPad, which led to the decline in the use of WRI files. Despite this, several modern word processing programs can still open and convert WRI files to more common formats like DOCX, RTF, and TXT.

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.
