The add-on can be used to import a PowerPoint presentation to Anki as formatted text and screenshots after manually converting to HTML using LibreOffice.
It’s just a simple version. It might or might not work.
NOT IMPLEMENTED
- Extracting original images (maybe using python-pptx - https://github.com/thedjdoorn/python-pptx-image-extract)
- Custom field mapping
- Maybe add the ID field to use with Image Occlusion (to do something similar - https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/ocrgy3/power_point_slide_import_into_anki/).
- Automatically convert from PowerPoint to HTML Document (maybe using LibreOffice from the command line)
