About formats

DBK is a file extension associated with DocBook, a semantic markup language for technical documentation defined in XML (and originally SGML). DocBook was created around 1991 by HaL Computer Systems and O'Reilly & Associates, later maintained by the OASIS DocBook Technical Committee. The vocabulary provides over 400 element types designed specifically for books, articles, reference pages, and technical manuals — including structural elements (book, chapter, section, appendix), block elements (para, programlisting, table, figure), and inline elements (emphasis, filename, command, classname). Authors write content focusing on meaning rather than appearance, and separate stylesheets transform the DocBook source into output formats like HTML, PDF, EPUB, and man pages. One advantage is strict separation of content and presentation — a single DocBook source document can generate a printed book, a website, an ebook, and Unix man pages through different transformation pipelines, without any content duplication. The rich semantic vocabulary is another strength: because elements like <command>, <filename>, and <errorcode> carry precise meaning, toolchains can index, cross-reference, and validate technical content in ways that generic markup cannot. DocBook has been adopted by major open-source projects including the Linux kernel documentation, GNOME, KDE, and FreeBSD for their official documentation, and it remains the standard for single-source technical publishing.
Initial release: 1991
RGB is a raw (headerless) image format that stores pixel data as a flat sequence of red, green, and blue sample values with no container structure, compression, or metadata. Each pixel is represented by three consecutive bytes (in 8-bit mode) — one for red intensity, one for green, and one for blue — written in scanline order from the top-left corner of the image to the bottom-right. Because there is no header, the image dimensions and bit depth must be specified externally when reading the file. The format supports multiple bit depths: 8-bit (0-255 per channel), 16-bit (0-65535 per channel), and floating-point variants, with 8-bit being the most common. The RGB color model itself reflects how display hardware produces color — by mixing red, green, and blue light at varying intensities — and raw RGB files represent this model in its most direct digital form. With 8-bit channels, three bytes per pixel yield a 24-bit color palette capable of representing 16,777,216 distinct colors. One advantage is zero-overhead processing: without headers or compression to parse, raw RGB data can be memory-mapped, fed directly into GPU textures, or piped between processing stages with minimal latency — valuable in real-time imaging, scientific instrumentation, and computer vision pipelines where every millisecond matters. The format's universal simplicity provides another practical strength — any programming language can read or write raw pixel data with just basic file I/O, making it a reliable interchange format between custom software that may not share support for structured image containers. Raw RGB files are handled by ImageMagick, FFmpeg, and various scientific and graphics tools.
