Hi, would it be possible to have in the meanwhile a way to turn off the language check (leaving it turned on bu default) so to understand better how large impact has the encoding?
I have several slidesets which have language set to non en-US, but written in English (I guess due to local settings used by PowerPoint at slide generation) and I would like to understand which impacts the 'declared' encoding could have :-)
ETA: OK, I stumbled upon the other (closed) issue about language support and now I see XML tags are different... I should have searched before commenting.
No problem. Sorry there hasn't been progress on this.
Hi there. A workaround for the language issues is the following (it worked for me);:
That's it :)
Wow! This is great to hear! Thank you! I'll try to get this documented. (and eventually I need to make the final edits to that newbullets branch and merge it with master)
Hi there. A workaround for the language issues is the following (it worked for me);:
- Upload the presentation to Google Drive
- Download it again (some changes in it performed silently)
- Run the newbullets branch of the project (devtools::install_github("datalorax/slidex", ref="newbullets"))
That's it :)
That approach not work for me :-1:
I'm pretty sure the new dplyr broke this. I will try to get around to fixing it soon.
Alright, turns out this is an issue with Office 365 (I built this using Office 2016 for Mac). Please try downloading and installing the latest commits with remotes::install_github("datalorax/slidex@office365-changes")
and see if that works for you.
Great job, do you have any news regarding non-english encodings? i do not see branch office365-changes
Hi - that branch no longer exists because it was merged in with the main branch. Development on this project has basically stopped. I just don't have the time to support it, unfortunately. But, I did just put out a call for help on twitter (https://twitter.com/datalorax_/status/1357184005242716162?s=20) so perhaps somebody will come and help get it moving again. Sorry there has been little to no movement on this since its initial development.
There seems to be a fair amount of interest in getting this running with other languages. I'm all for it, but at this point in the development I can't devote the time to it. If there are others out there that are willing to put in the time, I would love the contribution. I am also happy to chat about the code I have and how I think it could be modified to support other languages, particularly if you don't have a lot of prior experience with xml code. If you're an expert in navigating xml trees, all the better. 😎
