I added mine to the slide.element
in md2pptx. If you search for the definition and use of the function addSlideTransition
in my code you'll see what I mean.
However, I also would like to understand what would be closer to the heart of python-pptx in this matter.
(Very secondarily, extensions to that code's capability are something I'd contemplate. But I don't actually use transitions in my day job, though I built md2pptx (and mdpre) for my daily needs.)
@MartinPacker the animation is added externally through Powerpoint in my case, and this is intentional in my workflow. I think this is different from slide transitions too, because slide transitions are transitions between slides, and animations are within the slide itself. I don't know the office open xml spec very well, but animations are specified in a single <p:timing>
element (or multiple, when using features out of the standard).
When a non-openxml feature is used in animations, Powerpoint wraps the
<p:timing>
element in a<mc:AlternateContent>
. For example, settingBounce end
to true:(see enclosed file: file_with_bounce.pptx )
However,
python-pptx
assumes that<p:timing>
is at the root of<p:sld>
and creates a new<p:timing>
.This results in a powerpoint file that has the form:
The file is then detected as corrupt and deleted.
I can make the fix, but I would need to know where I can find a standard way to account for
AlternateContent
in the lib?Thanks
