## Edit HTML using Aspose.Slides

[**Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java**](/slides/php-java/) can import HTML content into presentation slides. You can then modify those slides by adding text, shapes, images, and other presentation elements before exporting the result to HTML5.

The export creates a new HTML5 document from the presentation; it does not modify the source HTML DOM in place. The following example imports an HTML file, adds a rectangle containing text to the first generated slide, and saves the result as HTML5.

    $slide = $presentation->getSlides()->get_Item(0);
    $shape = $slide->getShapes()->addAutoShape(
        ShapeType::Rectangle, 10, 10, 100, 50);
