Description
This PR introduces a new
Word2003writer class, enabling PHPWord to export documents to the.docfile extension.The motivation behind this change is to provide compatibility with Microsoft Word 2003 and older versions. Given the complexity of the proprietary Word 97-2003 Binary File Format, this implementation adopts a widely used and practical HTML-based approach. The generated
.docfiles contain HTML content with Microsoft Office XML namespaces, which Word 2003 and later versions correctly interpret and open as native documents. This approach ensures maintainability and broad compatibility.Fixes # (issue)
