exportPPT

About This Task

Exports PowerPoint slides (.pptx) as PNG images and extracts speaker notes as AsciiDoc.

./dtcw4 local exportPPT

In v4, this task uses Apache POI for rendering and works on all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows). The v3 version was Windows-only (VBScript).

Note
 Only .pptx files are supported. Legacy .ppt format is not supported.

Generated Output

For each <name>.pptx found under your input path, the task writes:

  • slide images to src/docs/images/ppt/<name>/slide_NNN.png (one PNG per slide),

  • speaker notes to src/docs/ppt/<name>/slide_NNN_notes.adoc (only for slides that have notes),

  • a ready-to-include AsciiDoc file at src/docs/ppt/<name>/<name>.adoc.

The generated <name>.adoc contains one section per slide, each with the slide title as a === heading, the slide image, and an include of the slide’s notes:

=== <slide title>

image::ppt/<name>/slide_001.png[<slide title>]

include::slide_001_notes.adoc[]

Include the generated <name>.adoc from your own document to embed the slides and notes.
