Edit HTML using Aspose.Slides

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you import HTML content into slides, add presentation elements such as text and shapes, and export the edited presentation as HTML5. This workflow changes the imported slide content rather than the original HTML document.

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)
