Planned features

[MM-Lehmann]

Some features I am planning long term:

• import each element from ppt individually so they can be further edited/moved in h5p
• support multimedia content (video, audio)
• batch mode
• (GUI)

If you want to add any to this list, please open a new issue "[feature request] ..."

This is fantastic! I am using this to support educators moving PPT files to H5P.
I see there are plans for importing each element from ppt individually: does that mean text will import as text (i.e., readable by screen readers and accessibility compliant?)
Cheers!

Thank you.
That's the plan but I have no idea yet how to achieve that. It would need common data model for both h5p and pptx object definitions so we could translate one into another.

Great tool. To convert an entire presentation, element by element, it might be easier to parse the pptx file than to use the COM interface. I haven't used it, but python-pptx looks like a useful library.

This is such an underrated tool, especially during the pandemic with everything going online!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. @davidgrenet I have looked into python-pptx and I could read the object definitions from there but they are defined in completely different syntax and architecture than would need to for h5p and I have no knowledge of any parsing or conversion tools. Creating them from scratch would take months, I reckon.
