DOC files contain richly formatted content locked inside a binary OLE2 container that browsers cannot render directly. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the native language of the web, understood by every browser, email client, and web platform. Converting DOC to HTML extracts the document's text, structure, and formatting and reconstructs them as semantic HTML elements with inline or embedded CSS.

This conversion bridges the gap between desktop word processing and web publishing. A DOC document with headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and images becomes a self-contained HTML file that can be viewed in any browser, embedded in a CMS, included in an email newsletter, or served as a standalone web page. The HTML output maps Word styles to appropriate semantic tags — Heading 1 becomes <h1>, body text becomes <p>, and tables become <table> with proper row and cell structure.

Publishing DOC content on the web requires HTML conversion. Content management systems like WordPress, Drupal, and Ghost accept HTML input for posts and pages, but cannot import DOC binary files directly. Converting DOC to HTML gives you clean, structured markup that you can paste into any CMS editor, email template, or static site generator without manual reformatting.

HTML is also the most accessible document format — screen readers, search engine crawlers, and assistive technologies parse HTML natively. Converting DOC files to HTML makes the content indexable by Google, readable by screen readers, and responsive on mobile devices. For organizations required to meet WCAG accessibility standards, HTML is far superior to distributing DOC files.

LibreOffice parses the DOC binary and converts it to HTML using its Writer Web export filter. Paragraph styles map to semantic HTML elements: Heading styles become <h1> through <h6>, body paragraphs become <p>, and list items become <li> within <ul> or <ol> containers. Tables are converted to <table>/<tr>/<td> structures with colspan and rowspan for merged cells. Character formatting — bold, italic, underline, font size, color — is applied as inline CSS or <span> elements with style attributes. Embedded images are extracted and included as Base64-encoded data URIs or separate linked files depending on the output mode. Pandoc may be used as an alternative engine for cleaner, more semantic HTML output.

The text content and basic formatting will match, but page-specific elements like headers, footers, page numbers, and exact page breaks do not translate to HTML. HTML uses continuous flow layout, not fixed pages.

Yes. Embedded images are extracted from the DOC file and included in the HTML as Base64-encoded data URIs or as separate image files referenced by the HTML.

Yes. The HTML output can be pasted directly into the WordPress block editor or classic editor. You may want to remove any unnecessary inline styles for cleaner integration with your theme.

Tables are converted to standard HTML <table> elements with proper <tr> and <td> structure. Merged cells use colspan and rowspan attributes. Complex nested tables may need minor adjustment.

The raw HTML output uses basic styling. For fully responsive display, you will want to add CSS media queries or wrap it in a responsive template. The semantic structure converts cleanly to responsive layouts.
