ODP to HTML

The script is used for the Standart HTML with frames option. Instead of html pages that just contain a jpeg picture, this script helps to transfer the text. It is thought for presentations that should be transformed to html with an index on the left side (the Standart HTML with frames layout).

odp2html looks for page breaks. With each page break a new html page is created.
The first page including the header is put in the beginning of each html page.

STEP BY STEP

(create presentation or open it...)

Go to File > export ...
create new folder (odpExport)
use "index" as filename (helps in future)
save

>> wizard starts

choose "Standart HTML with frames"
choose "Create title page" NO (if you want a title page you will have to insert a page later to not mess up the page order)

finish wizzard

change to outline view

select all
copy
create new TEXT document (you have to choose text not HTML in order to insert page breaks)
insert

change the paragraph style of those title that should start a new html page. It is probably the "default Titel" or similar.

go to edit paragraph style > Text flow

Breaks > insert > PAGE

use File > Save As...

choose Filter : HTML Document ....
give a name (tempfile)
save

create a new first page

the first page acts like the master slide. All items on this page are copied to all the html pages, including graphics. The layout is however a little tricky (but at least you do not have to copy and paste all the time...)

adjust font size, fonts, background colour, etc

to change background color: Format>Page>Background
to adjust fonts quickly: select all, Format>default formatting

save the page (it should already be HTML)

use the script

open console

use odp2html <name-of-newly created-html-file> [<folder created by export>]

if you give a folder name the newly created html pages will be copied there. odp2html will in any way create a new folder. If the folder exists already, you have to remove or rename it first.

>odp2html tempfile.html odpExport

It will create a folder tempfile with all new html pages in. Then it will copy these pages to odpExport folder, the folder that contains our exported opd file.

open odpExport/index.html and see the result
