:Slide.Ph.BodyText1: :Slide.Ph.BodyText1_AsPara.HTML: :Slide.Ph.BodyText1_AsBullets.HTML: :Slide.Ph.BodyText1_AsNumbers.HTML:

:Slide.Ph.BodyText1: becomes the raw, unformatted text from the first body text placeholder on the slide.

:Slide.Ph.BodyText1_AsPara.HTML: becomes the text from the first body text placeholder on the slide, formatted as HTML paragraphs with P and BR tags.

:Slide.Ph.BodyText1_AsBullets.HTML: becomes the text from the first body text placeholder on the slide, formatted as an HTML Unordered List (ie, a list of bulleted points)

:Slide.Ph.BodyText1_AsNumbers.HTML: becomes the text from the first body text placeholder on the slide, formatted as an HTML Ordered List (ie, a list of numbered points)

Numbered and Bulleted lists retain the original indent levels you've set in PowerPoint.

You typically wouldn't use these in a regular web page, since you'd already an image of the slide in the HTML, but they can be quite useful if you wish to provide text-only web pages for readers who have slow connections or for visitors with vision disabilities who use screen reader software or other assistive devices to access the web.

With these placeholders, you can easily provide text-only alternate pages from your PowerPoint presentations or use the text from the slide in ALT tags for each of the slide images.

PPT2HTML doesn't currently pick up text from the second body text placeholder on slides (the Two Column text layout, for example) but we plan to add this feature soon. The PPT2HTML placeholder names will be the same as the ones described above, but with a 2 in place of the 1.
