## Convert HTML to XML in Python

[*Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET*](/slides/python-net/) lets you import HTML content into a presentation and save the resulting slides in PowerPoint XML Presentation format. The API provides `SlideCollection.add_from_html` for importing HTML and `Presentation.save` with `SaveFormat.XML` for creating the output file.

`SaveFormat.XML` creates a PowerPoint XML Presentation document. It does not serialize the original HTML document into an arbitrary custom XML schema.

## Convert HTML to XML using Python

Create a `Presentation`, remove its default blank slide, import the HTML file, and save the generated slides as a PowerPoint XML Presentation document.

### Python code for converting HTML into XML

```python
with slides.Presentation() as presentation:
    presentation.slides.remove_at(0)

    with open("page.html", "rb") as html_stream:
        presentation.slides.add_from_html(html_stream)

    presentation.save("output.xml", slides.export.SaveFormat.XML)
```
