Edit HTML in Python

Import HTML content, add presentation elements, and export the result as HTML5 with Python

Edit HTML in Python

The following example imports an HTML file into a Presentation, adds a text-bearing shape to the first imported slide, and exports the result as HTML5.

Python code for editing HTML

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)

    slide = presentation.slides[0]
    text_shape = slide.shapes.add_auto_shape(
        slides.ShapeType.RECTANGLE, 10, 10, 300, 50)
    text_shape.text_frame.text = "New text"

    presentation.save("edited-page.html", slides.export.SaveFormat.HTML5)

Create an empty Presentation.
Remove the default blank slide from the presentation.
