CONVERSION OF A PRESENTATION TO DARWIN INFORMATION TYPING ARCHITECTURE (DITA)

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention discloses a method, computer program product, and system for converting a Microsoft® PowerPoint® file to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). A document converter receiving a command from a client device to convert one or more PowerPoint slides to DITA, wherein the PowerPoint has been formatted for conversion to DITA. Starting with the first PowerPoint slide, metadata tags, PowerPoint slide and notes text, and file names of grouped images are compiled into a string parsed with DITA markup. If the next slide does not begin a new topic, then that slide's metadata tags, PowerPoint slide and notes text, and grouped image file names are compiled into a string parsed with DITA markup and appended to the previous slides string. If the next slide begins a new topic, then the string is exported to a DITA topic. This process is repeated throughout the PowerPoint presentation.

主权项

1. A method for converting a presentation file to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), the method comprising:
a computer receiving a command to convert one or more presentation slides to a DITA document, wherein the one or more presentation slides to be converted have been tagged with metadata corresponding to topic type and grouped graphical element file names; responsive to receiving the command to convert one or more presentation slides to a DITA document, the computer compiling information from the presentation slide, the information selected from the group consisting of the metadata tags, text in the presentation slide, text in a notes section of the presentation slide, and grouped graphical element file names from a first presentation slide of the one or more presentation slides into a string parsed with DITA markup; the computer accessing the metadata tags for a second presentation slide and determining whether the second presentation slide is a new topic; the computer determining that the second presentation slide is a new topic; and responsive to determining that the second presentation slide is a new topic, the computer converting the string parsed with DITA markup to a DITA topic defined by the metadata in the presentation slide.
