This simple topic covers how to convert PPTX to Markdown using Python. It encompasses the project configuration, step-wise programming flow, and a working sample code to export the PowerPoint to Markdown in Python using simple API calls. The developed application can be used in any Python supported environment in macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Steps to Convert PowerPoint to Markdown in Python
- Configure the development environment to use Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET to convert the presentation to a Markdown file using Python
- Load the source PPTX presentation using an instance of the Presentation class for PPTX to MD conversion
- Instantiate the MarkdownSaveOptions class object and set the Markdown file options
- Save the exported MD file on the disk
The aforementioned process entails the steps to export the PPTX to MD using Python with the help of simple API calls. The process is commenced by accessing the source presentation file from the disk using an instance of the Presentation class, which is then followed by creating an instance of the MarkdownSaveOptions class to set the output MD file content and format setting. Finally, the presentation is exported to a Markdown (MD) file and saved on the disk.
Code to Convert PowerPoint to Markdown in Python
This example demonstrates the process of converting PPTX to Markdown in Python. The MarkdownSaveOptions instance is used to set output Markdown (MD) file formatting and content settings. You may also set other options including show slide number, show hidden slides, output flavor, and export type to name a few. Once the markdown (MD) file options are set, the converted Markdown (MD) file will be saved on the disk.
