About formats

SK is the native file format of Skencil (originally named Sketch), a free vector graphics editor for Linux created by Bernhard Herzog, with the first public release on October 31, 1998. Skencil holds historical significance as one of the earliest full-featured vector drawing applications written almost entirely in Python, with only performance-critical rendering components implemented in C. The SK file format uses a text-based, Python-like syntax to describe document structure — pages, layers, groups, and individual graphic objects are represented as nested statements with parameters specifying coordinates, colors, line styles, and transformations. The format supports Bezier curves, rectangles, ellipses, text objects with font specifications, imported raster images, gradient and pattern fills, and hierarchical grouping with affine transforms. One advantage is human readability — SK files can be opened in any text editor, making it possible to inspect, modify, or generate artwork programmatically using simple scripts. The Python-native structure also provides a benefit for automation: since Skencil itself is a Python application, the file format integrates naturally with scripting workflows for batch processing and procedural graphic generation. While Skencil's development slowed after the mid-2000s, its SK format became the foundation for the sK1 project, which extended the format and continued active open-source vector graphics development. SK files remain convertible through sK1, UniConvertor, and other open-source tools.

DOC is the binary document format of Microsoft Word, the word processor first released in October 1983 for MS-DOS and later becoming the dominant document creation tool worldwide. The format stores documents as OLE2 compound document files — a binary container with multiple internal streams holding text content, formatting information, embedded objects, macros, and metadata. The text stream uses a complex system of formatting runs, section descriptors, paragraph and character property tables, and style definitions to represent arbitrarily complex document layouts including columns, headers, footnotes, tables, floating images, tracked changes, and mail merge fields. The format evolved substantially through Word versions, with Word 97 establishing the binary structure that remained standard through Word 2003 and created the .doc files most commonly encountered today. One advantage is near-universal compatibility — DOC files can be opened by virtually every word processor and document viewer across all platforms, from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Apple Pages. The format's rich feature support is another strength: DOC handles complex layouts, embedded OLE objects, VBA macros, and revision tracking that power enterprise document workflows. Although Microsoft introduced the XML-based DOCX format with Office 2007, DOC remains heavily present in existing document archives and continues to be produced by organizations maintaining compatibility with older Word installations.
