HTML-Pptx Module
This module exposes a tag to include html inside a Pptx document. The HTML is converted to Native Open XML by the module. This allows you to add a formatted field entered by the user
This module is available as part of the docxtemplater ENTREPRISE plan.
Releases RSS FeedThis module allows to add some HTML to a powerpoint document (pptx).
Limitations
It is not possible to mix different types of HTML elements in a single shape.
In the PPTX format, everything is inside a "box" which is techically called a "shape" (XML tag <p:sp>) , and a box can contain either :
- one or multiple paragraphs
- one table
- one shape
- one image
The box is statically positioned (x and y coordinate).
In a pptx template, the tag {~~html} will be inside one particular box, so it can't generate multiple boxes (or they would overlap, which would be unreadable).
This is why one HTML tag : {~~html} will alway render one box, so for example the following HTML data would throw an error because it mixes tables and paragraphs :
<p>Hello</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td><p>Hello</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Hello</p>
The HTML module currently supports:
<p><h1-h6>with some default sizes for each level, the sizes of the titles can be customized<span><br><ul>,<ol>and<li>for ordered and unordered lists<strong>and<em><a href="URL">Linktext</a>
Options
It is possible to set options to the htmlPptxModule in the constructor of the module.
Description of the options :
- ignoreUnknownTags [default=false]: If this option is set to true, and the module finds an HTML tag that it doesn't handle, it will not fail but instead make as if the tag was of type
<span>; - ignoreCssErrors [default=false]: If this option is set to true, all CSS errors are ignored and the library tries to parse the CSS with a best-effort algorithm;
- styleSheet makes it possible to add style to all HTML tags that are inserted.
To ignore all unknown tags:
const module = new HTMLModule({
ignoreUnknownTags: true,
});
CHANGELOG
3.2.1
When specifying a color with CSS, in previous versions, if the text containing the {~~html} tag was colored with a theme, the document could be corrupted.
This release fixes the bug, the color is now the right one.
3.2.0
Better handle override of style. Includes a quite big rewrite.
For example, it is now possible to override the color of some text in a given run without producing a corruption and without losing all other formatting on that block of text.
3.1.6
Disallow to pass something other than a string to the stylesheet option (because this option only allows to pass a given global stylesheet)
3.1.5
Bugfix when using together with slides module, it would result in the following error :
MultiError :
TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
at HtmlModule.hasListInSlideMaster (docxtemplater-html-pptx-module/es6/index.js:289:19)
Now, loops created with the slides module can contain html-pptx tags
3.1.4
Fix issue with css module :
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '[...]\node_modules\css\lib\stringify'
Now, the module requires only the part that it uses, which removes this error.

Bugfix to ignore <br> at the end of block elements.

Bugfix to render space in inline HTML tag when using : <b>Foo</b> <i>Bar</i>

3.1.0
Add way to specify spacing between bullet and text, and indent of bullet with :
ul li {
-dxt-bullet-indent: 1in;
-dxt-bullet-spacing: 1in;
