How do I Convert a Folder full of Microsoft Word Documents to XML Document Format?

Even though it is easy to convert one [file at a time](ConvertDocToFileXML.md), Sometimes you need to convert an entire directory of Word Documents to XMLs. You can do this easily on the command line using [Docto](https://github.com/tobya/docto).
|
|
|
|
The command line below shows how you can convert all the Microsoft Word Documents in a folder to a XML Document Format file - XML. If you provide a directory rather than a single file, docto knows to convert all the documents in that directory.
