# html2pptx
Convert a rendered HTML page → native PowerPoint .pptx with **editable shapes** (not a PNG-in-slide).
## When to use
- "Convert this HTML poster to PPT."
- "I need an editable PowerPoint version of my HTML page."
- "1:1 PPT clone of poster.html — fonts/colors/layout."
- "Hand off the poster to a non-developer in PPT."
## When NOT to use
- Need a flat PNG slide → use `paper2poster/demo/presentation/posters.pptx`.
- HTML uses heavy JS animations / video → those don't translate to PPT shapes.
- Math-heavy KaTeX content → math gets rasterized fallback (loses equation editability).
## Setup (one-time)
### 1. Python deps
```bash
pip install python-pptx playwright pdf2image lxml Pillow pyphen cairosvg
playwright install chromium # ~110MB headless browser
```
### 2. soffice (for verification)
```bash
# Linux:
sudo apt install libreoffice-impress
# Mac:
brew install --cask libreoffice
```
### 3. **Web fonts — CRITICAL for fidelity** (Read [GOTCHAS.md](./GOTCHAS.md#g1))
> **Default = Arial → you can skip this whole section.** Since the paper2poster
> Arial default, posters render in **Arial** (or another PPT-safe family: Calibri,
> Aptos, Cambria, Times New Roman, Verdana, Georgia, Trebuchet MS). Those are
> pre-installed on every Mac + Windows PowerPoint, so you do **not** need the font
> installs below and the `.pptx` is portable **without embedding**. The
> Inter / Source Serif 4 / JetBrains Mono setup below applies **only** when the
> poster was rendered w
