Convert XML to MS

XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a widely used file extension in computer technology. It is designed to store and transport data, enabling structured information exchange between different systems. XML files are both human- and machine-readable, making them versatile for various applications, including web services, configuration files, and data storage. Originating in the 1990s, XML was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to simplify data interchange and ensure platform independence. Its flexibility and extensibility have made it a standard in many IT environments, fostering seamless integration and data sharing across diverse platforms.

The MS file extension, short for "Manuscript", is associated with the roff (runoff) document formatting system used in Unix-like operating systems. It is part of the GNU roff (groff) implementation, which formats documents such as letters, memoranda, reports, and books. Historically, it evolved from the Multics runoff system in the 1960s and became integral to Unix documentation. The MS macro package supports features like cover pages, table of contents, numbered headings, and multi-column layouts.
