It may seem to work fine, but you'll be getting extra garbage in
your excerpts, and the weights of words in the database will be
thrown off because the words are duplicated. The problem is you're
treating parse_doc.pl as an external converter, not an external parser.
parse_doc.pl does not output HTML, but that's what you're telling htdig
to expect. You really should be using conv_doc.pl or doc2html.pl as an
external converter, and toss parse_doc.pl aside.
Take a closer look at http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#external_parsers and
http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 for the distinction between the two.
It's a bit confusing because both converters and parsers are specified
via the external_parsers attribute, but they function rather differently.

You can't index .doc files locally, at least not without modifying the
Document::RetrieveLocal() code in htdig/Document.cc.
Take a closer look at http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#local_urls to see
what file name extensions it handles.
