Convert ONEPKG to DOTHTML

Understanding the ONEPKG and DOTHTML file formats

ONEPKG is a file format used by Microsoft OneNote to package entire notebooks, including sections, pages, and embedded content, into a single archive file. This format is ideal for sharing or backing up complete OneNote notebooks.

DOTHTML is a less common file extension, typically associated with Microsoft Word HTML template files. These are HTML files that serve as templates for Word documents, preserving formatting and layout for web-based documents.
