Detail:

Filtering is one step of "webification," the rewriting of a document in Web format. Filtered elements may be frivolous, simply unnecessary, or damaging to the structural integrity of the new document.

Filters are included in numerous programs for transforming documents from word processor or desktop publishing programs to HTML. When moving from Microsoft Word to HTML, for instance, a border around a block of text or the word processor coding would be eliminated.
