# DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
## Overview
A .docx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files and resources. Create, edit, or analyze Word documents using text extraction, raw XML access, or redlining workflows. Apply this skill for professional document processing, tracked changes, and content manipulation.
## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics
**When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.**
If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
- Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic
**For new documents:** Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.
**How to generate schematics:**
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
```
The AI will automatically:
- Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
- Review and refine through multiple iterations
- Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
- Save outputs in the figures/ directory
**When to add schematics:**
- Document workflow diagrams
- Process flowcharts
- System architecture illustrations
- Data flow diagrams
- Organizational structure diagrams
- Any complex concept that benefits from visualization
For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.

## Workflow Decision Tree
### Reading/Analyzing Content
Use "Text extraction" or "Raw XML access" sections below
### Creating New Document
Use "Creating a new Word document" workflow
### Editing Existing Document
- **Your own document + simple changes**
Use "Basic OOXML editing" workflow
- **Someone else's document**
Use **"Redlining workflow"** (recommended default)
- **Legal, academic, business, or government docs**
Use **"Redlining workflow"** (required)
## Reading and analyzing content
### Text extraction
To read the text contents of a document, convert the document to markdown using pandoc. Pandoc provides excellent support for preserving document structure and can show tracked changes:
```bash
# Convert document to markdown with tracked changes
pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md
# Options: --track-changes=accept/reject/all
```
### Raw XML access
Raw XML access is required for: comments, complex formatting, document structure, embedded media, and metadata. For any of these features, unpack a document and read its raw XML contents.
#### Unpacking a file
`python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_directory>`
#### Key file structures
* `word/document.xml` - Main document contents
* `word/comments.xml` - Comments referenced in document.xml
* `word/media/` - Embedded images and media files
* Tracked changes use `<w:ins>` (insertions) and `<w:del>` (deletions) tags
## Creating a new Word document
When creating a new Word document from scratch, use **docx-js**, which allows you to create Word documents using JavaScript/TypeScript.
### Workflow
1. **MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE**: Read [`docx-js.md`](docx-js.md) (~500 lines) completely from start to finish. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.** Read the full file content for detailed syntax, critical formatting rules, and best practices before proceeding with document creation.
2. Create a JavaScript/TypeScript file using Document, Paragraph, TextRun components (You can assume all dependencies are installed, but if not, refer to the dependencies section below)
3. Export as .docx using Packer.toBuffer()
## Editing an existing Word document
When editing an existing Word document, use the **Document library** (a Python library for OOXML manipulation). The library automatically handles infrastructure setup and provides methods for document manipulation. For complex scenarios, you can access the underlying DOM directly through the library.
### Workflow
1. **MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE**: Read [`ooxml.md`](ooxml.md) (~600 lines) completely from start to finish. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.** Read the full file content for the Document library API and XML patterns for directly editing document files.
2. Unpack the document: `python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_directory>`
3. Create and run a Python script using the Document library (see "Document Library" section in ooxml.md)
4. Pack the final document: `python ooxml/scripts/pack.py <input_directory> <office_file>`
The Document library provides both high-level methods for common operations and direct DOM access for complex scenarios.
## Redlining workflow for document review
This workflow allows planning comprehensive tracked changes using markdown before implementing them in OOXML. **CRITICAL**: For complete tracked changes, implement ALL changes systematically.
**Batching Strategy**: Group related changes into batches of 3-10 changes. This makes debugging manageable while maintaining efficiency. Test each batch before moving to the next.
**Principle: Minimal, Precise Edits**
When implementing tracked changes, only mark text that actually changes. Repeating unchanged text makes edits harder to review and appears unprofessional. Break replacements into: [unchanged text] + [deletion] + [insertion] + [unchanged text]. Preserve the original run's RSID for unchanged text by extracting the `<w:r>` element from the original and reusing it.
Example - Changing "30 days" to "60 days" in a sentence:
```python
# BAD - Replaces entire sentence
'<w:del><w:r><w:delText>The term is 30 days.</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r><w:t>The term is 60 days.</w:t></w:r></w:ins>'
# GOOD - Only marks what changed, preserves original <w:r> for unchanged text
'<w:r w:rsidR="00AB12CD"><w:t>The term is </w:t></w:r><w:del><w:r><w:delText>30</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r><w:t>60</w:t></w:r></w:ins><w:r w:rsidR="00AB12CD"><w:t> days.</w:t></w:r>'
```
### Tracked changes workflow
1. **Get markdown representation**: Convert document to markdown with tracked changes preserved:
```bash
pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o current.md
```
2. **Identify and group changes**: Review the document and identify ALL changes needed, organizing them into logical batches:
**Location methods** (for finding changes in XML):
- Section/heading numbers (e.g., "Section 3.2", "Article IV")
- Paragraph identifiers if numbered
- Grep patterns with unique surrounding text
- Document structure (e.g., "first paragraph", "signature block")
- **DO NOT use markdown line numbers** - they don't map to XML structure
**Batch organization** (group 3-10 related changes per batch):
- By section: "Batch 1: Section 2 amendments", "Batch 2: Section 5 updates"
- By type: "Batch 1: Date corrections", "Batch 2: Party name changes"
- By complexity: Start with simple text replacements, then tackle complex structural changes
- Sequential: "Batch 1: Pages 1-3", "Batch 2: Pages 4-6"
3. **Read documentation and unpack**:
- **MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE**: Read [`ooxml.md`](ooxml.md) (~600 lines) completely from start to finish. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.** Pay special attention to the "Document Library" and "Tracked Change Patterns" sections.
- **Unpack the document**: `python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <file.docx> <dir>`
- **Note the suggested RSID**: The unpack script will suggest an RSID to use for your tracked changes. Copy this RSID for use in step 4b.
4. **Implement changes in batches**: Group changes logically (by section, by type, or by proximity) and implement them together in a single script. This approach:
- Makes debugging easier (smaller batch = easier to isolate errors)
- Allows incremental progress
- Maintains efficiency (batch size of 3-10 changes works well)
**Suggested batch groupings:**
- By document section (e.g., "Section 3 changes", "Definitions", "Termination clause")
- By change type (e.g., "Date changes", "Party name updates", "Legal term replacements")
- By proximity (e.g., "Changes on pages 1-3", "Changes in first half of document")
For each batch of related changes:
**a. Map text to XML**: Grep for text in `word/document.xml` to verify how text is split across `<w:r>` elements.
**b. Create and run script**: Use `get_node` to find nodes, implement changes, then `doc.save()`. See **"Document Library"** section in ooxml.md for patterns.
**Note**: Always grep `word/document.xml` immediately before writing a script to get current line numbers and verify text content. Line numbers change after each script run.
5. **Pack the document**: After all batches are complete, convert the unpacked directory back to .docx:
```bash
python ooxml/scripts/pack.py unpacked reviewed-document.docx
```
6. **Final verification**: Do a comprehensive check of the complete document:
- Convert final document to markdown:
```bash
pandoc --track-changes=all reviewed-document.docx -o verification.md
```
- Verify ALL changes were applied correctly:
```bash
grep "original phrase" verification.md # Should NOT find it
grep "replacement phrase" verification.md # Should find it
```
- Check that no unintended changes were introduced
## Converting Documents to Images
To visually analyze Word documents, convert them to images using a two-step process:
1. **Convert DOCX to PDF**:
```bash
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf document.docx
```
2. **Convert PDF pages to JPEG images**:
```bash
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 document.pdf page
```
This creates files like `page-1.jpg`, `page-2.jpg`, etc.
Options:
- `-r 150`: Sets resolution to 150 DPI (adjust for quality/size balance)
- `-jpeg`: Output JPEG format (use `-png` for PNG if preferred)
- `-f N`: First page to convert (e.g., `-f 2` starts from page 2)
- `-l N`: Last page to convert (e.g., `-l 5` stops at page 5)
- `page`: Prefix for output files
Example for specific range:
```bash
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 -f 2 -l 5 document.pdf page # Converts only pages 2-5
```
## Code Style Guidelines
**IMPORTANT**: When generating code for DOCX operations:
- Write concise code
- Avoid verbose variable names and redundant operations
- Avoid unnecessary print statements
## Dependencies
Required dependencies (install if not available):
- **pandoc**: `sudo apt-get install pandoc` (for text extraction)
- **docx**: `npm install -g docx` (for creating new documents)
- **LibreOffice**: `sudo apt-get install libreoffice` (for PDF conversion)
- **Poppler**: `sudo apt-get install poppler-utils` (for pdftoppm to convert PDF to images)
- **defusedxml**: `pip install defusedxml` (for secure XML parsing)

# DOCX Library Tutorial
Generate .docx files with JavaScript/TypeScript.
**Important: Read this entire document before starting.** Critical formatting rules and common pitfalls are covered throughout - skipping sections may result in corrupted files or rendering issues.
## Setup
Assumes docx is already installed globally
If not installed: `npm install -g docx`
```javascript
const { Document, Packer, Paragraph, TextRun, Table, TableRow, TableCell, ImageRun, Media,
Header, Footer, AlignmentType, PageOrientation, LevelFormat, ExternalHyperlink,
InternalHyperlink, TableOfContents, HeadingLevel, BorderStyle, WidthType, TabStopType,
TabStopPosition, UnderlineType, ShadingType, VerticalAlign, SymbolRun, PageNumber,
FootnoteReferenceRun, Footnote, PageBreak } = require('docx');
// Create & Save
const doc = new Document({ sections: [{ children: [/* content */] }] });
Packer.toBuffer(doc).then(buffer => fs.writeFileSync("doc.docx", buffer)); // Node.js
Packer.toBlob(doc).then(blob => { /* download logic */ }); // Browser
```
## Text & Formatting
```javascript
// IMPORTANT: Never use \n for line breaks - always use separate Paragraph elements
// ❌ WRONG: new TextRun("Line 1\nLine 2")
// ✅ CORRECT: new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Line 1")] }), new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Line 2")] })
// Basic text with all formatting options
new Paragraph({
alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER,
spacing: { before: 200, after: 200 },
indent: { left: 720, right: 720 },
children: [
new TextRun({ text: "Bold", bold: true }),
new TextRun({ text: "Italic", italics: true }),
new TextRun({ text: "Underlined", underline: { type: UnderlineType.DOUBLE, color: "FF0000" } }),
new TextRun({ text: "Colored", color: "FF0000", size: 28, font: "Arial" }), // Arial default
new TextRun({ text: "Highlighted", highlight: "yellow" }),
new TextRun({ text: "Strikethrough", strike: true }),
new TextRun({ text: "x2", superScript: true }),
new TextRun({ text: "H2O", subScript: true }),
new TextRun({ text: "SMALL CAPS", smallCaps: true }),
new SymbolRun({ char: "2022", font: "Symbol" }), // Bullet •
new SymbolRun({ char: "00A9", font: "Arial" }) // Copyright © - Arial for symbols
]
})
```
## Styles & Professional Formatting
```javascript
const doc = new Document({
styles: {
default: { document: { run: { font: "Arial", size: 24 } } }, // 12pt default
paragraphStyles: [
// Document title style - override built-in Title style
{ id: "Title", name: "Title", basedOn: "Normal",
run: { size: 56, bold: true, color: "000000", font: "Arial" },
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 240, after: 120 }, alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER } },
// IMPORTANT: Override built-in heading styles by using their exact IDs
{ id: "Heading1", name: "Heading 1", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
run: { size: 32, bold: true, color: "000000", font: "Arial" }, // 16pt
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 240, after: 240 }, outlineLevel: 0 } }, // Required for TOC
{ id: "Heading2", name: "Heading 2", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
run: { size: 28, bold: true, color: "000000", font: "Arial" }, // 14pt
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 180, after: 180 }, outlineLevel: 1 } },
// Custom styles use your own IDs
{ id: "myStyle", name: "My Style", basedOn: "Normal",
run: { size: 28, bold: true, color: "000000" },
paragraph: { spacing: { after: 120 }, alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER } }
],
characterStyles: [{ id: "myCharStyle", name: "My Char Style",
run: { color: "FF0000", bold: true, underline: { type: UnderlineType.SINGLE } } }]
},
sections: [{
properties: { page: { margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } } },
children: [
new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.TITLE, children: [new TextRun("Document Title")] }), // Uses overridden Title style
new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [new TextRun("Heading 1")] }), // Uses overridden Heading1 style
new Paragraph({ style: "myStyle", children: [new TextRun("Custom paragraph style")] }),
new Paragraph({ children: [
new TextRun("Normal with "),
new TextRun({ text: "custom char style", style: "myCharStyle" })
]})
]
}]
});
```
**Professional Font Combinations:**
- **Arial (Headers) + Arial (Body)** - Most universally supported, clean and professional
- **Times New Roman (Headers) + Arial (Body)** - Classic serif headers with modern sans-serif body
- **Georgia (Headers) + Verdana (Body)** - Optimized for screen reading, elegant contrast
**Key Styling Principles:**
- **Override built-in styles**: Use exact IDs like "Heading1", "Heading2", "Heading3" to override Word's built-in heading styles
- **HeadingLevel constants**: `HeadingLevel.HEADING_1` uses "Heading1" style, `HeadingLevel.HEADING_2` uses "Heading2" style, etc.
- **Include outlineLevel**: Set `outlineLevel: 0` for H1, `outlineLevel: 1` for H2, etc. to ensure TOC works correctly
- **Use custom styles** instead of inline formatting for consistency
- **Set a default font** using `styles.default.document.run.font` - Arial is universally supported
- **Establish visual hierarchy** with different font sizes (titles > headers > body)
- **Add proper spacing** with `before` and `after` paragraph spacing
- **Use colors sparingly**: Default to black (000000) and shades of gray for titles and headings (heading 1, heading 2, etc.)
- **Set consistent margins** (1440 = 1 inch is standard)
## Lists (ALWAYS USE PROPER LISTS - NEVER USE UNICODE BULLETS)
```javascript
// Bullets - ALWAYS use the numbering config, NOT unicode symbols
// CRITICAL: Use LevelFormat.BULLET constant, NOT the string "bullet"
const doc = new Document({
numbering: {
config: [
{ reference: "bullet-list",
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.BULLET, text: "•", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
{ reference: "first-numbered-list",
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.DECIMAL, text: "%1.", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
{ reference: "second-numbered-list", // Different reference = restarts at 1
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.DECIMAL, text: "%1.", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] }
]
},
sections: [{
children: [
// Bullet list items
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "bullet-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("First bullet point")] }),
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "bullet-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Second bullet point")] }),
// Numbered list items
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "first-numbered-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("First numbered item")] }),
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "first-numbered-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Second numbered item")] }),
// ⚠️ CRITICAL: Different reference = INDEPENDENT list that restarts at 1
// Same reference = CONTINUES previous numbering
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "second-numbered-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Starts at 1 again (because different reference)")] })
]
}]
});
// ⚠️ CRITICAL NUMBERING RULE: Each reference creates an INDEPENDENT numbered list
// - Same reference = continues numbering (1, 2, 3... then 4, 5, 6...)
// - Different reference = restarts at 1 (1, 2, 3... then 1, 2, 3...)
// Use unique reference names for each separate numbered section!
// ⚠️ CRITICAL: NEVER use unicode bullets - they create fake lists that don't work properly
// new TextRun("• Item") // WRONG
// new SymbolRun({ char: "2022" }) // WRONG
// ✅ ALWAYS use numbering config with LevelFormat.BULLET for real Word lists
```
## Tables
```javascript
// Complete table with margins, borders, headers, and bullet points
const tableBorder = { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 1, color: "CCCCCC" };
const cellBorders = { top: tableBorder, bottom: tableBorder, left: tableBorder, right: tableBorder };
new Table({
columnWidths: [4680, 4680], // ⚠️ CRITICAL: Set column widths at table level - values in DXA (twentieths of a point)
margins: { top: 100, bottom: 100, left: 180, right: 180 }, // Set once for all cells
rows: [
new TableRow({
tableHeader: true,
children: [
new TableCell({
borders: cellBorders,
width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // ALSO set width on each cell
// ⚠️ CRITICAL: Always use ShadingType.CLEAR to prevent black backgrounds in Word.
shading: { fill: "D5E8F0", type: ShadingType.CLEAR },
verticalAlign: VerticalAlign.CENTER,
children: [new Paragraph({
alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER,
children: [new TextRun({ text: "Header", bold: true, size: 22 })]
})]
}),
new TableCell({
borders: cellBorders,
width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // ALSO set width on each cell
shading: { fill: "D5E8F0", type: ShadingType.CLEAR },
children: [new Paragraph({
alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER,
children: [new TextRun({ text: "Bullet Points", bold: true, size: 22 })]
})]
})
]
}),
new TableRow({
children: [
new TableCell({
borders: cellBorders,
width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // ALSO set width on each cell
children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Regular data")] })]
}),
new TableCell({
borders: cellBorders,
width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // ALSO set width on each cell
children: [
new Paragraph({
numbering: { reference: "bullet-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("First bullet point")]
}),
new Paragraph({
numbering: { reference: "bullet-list", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Second bullet point")]
})
]
})
]
})
]
})
```
**IMPORTANT: Table Width & Borders**
- Use BOTH `columnWidths: [width1, width2, ...]` array AND `width: { size: X, type: WidthType.DXA }` on each cell
- Values in DXA (twentieths of a point): 1440 = 1 inch, Letter usable width = 9360 DXA (with 1" margins)
- Apply borders to individual `TableCell` elements, NOT the `Table` itself
**Precomputed Column Widths (Letter size with 1" margins = 9360 DXA total):**
- **2 columns:** `columnWidths: [4680, 4680]` (equal width)
- **3 columns:** `columnWidths: [3120, 3120, 3120]` (equal width)
## Links & Navigation
```javascript
// TOC (requires headings) - CRITICAL: Use HeadingLevel only, NOT custom styles
// ❌ WRONG: new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, style: "customHeader", children: [new TextRun("Title")] })
// ✅ CORRECT: new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [new TextRun("Title")] })
new TableOfContents("Table of Contents", { hyperlink: true, headingStyleRange: "1-3" }),
// External link
new Paragraph({
children: [new ExternalHyperlink({
children: [new TextRun({ text: "Google", style: "Hyperlink" })],
link: "https://www.google.com"
})]
}),
// Internal link & bookmark
new Paragraph({
children: [new InternalHyperlink({
children: [new TextRun({ text: "Go to Section", style: "Hyperlink" })],
anchor: "section1"
})]
}),
new Paragraph({
children: [new TextRun("Section Content")],
bookmark: { id: "section1", name: "section1" }
}),
```
## Images & Media
```javascript
// Basic image with sizing & positioning
// CRITICAL: Always specify 'type' parameter - it's REQUIRED for ImageRun
new Paragraph({
alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER,
children: [new ImageRun({
type: "png", // NEW REQUIREMENT: Must specify image type (png, jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, svg)
data: fs.readFileSync("image.png"),
transformation: { width: 200, height: 150, rotation: 0 }, // rotation in degrees
altText: { title: "Logo", description: "Company logo", name: "Name" } // IMPORTANT: All three fields are required
})]
})
```
## Page Breaks
```javascript
// Manual page break
new Paragraph({ children: [new PageBreak()] }),
// Page break before paragraph
new Paragraph({
pageBreakBefore: true,
children: [new TextRun("This starts on a new page")]
})
// ⚠️ CRITICAL: NEVER use PageBreak standalone - it will create invalid XML that Word cannot open
// ❌ WRONG: new PageBreak()
// ✅ CORRECT: new Paragraph({ children: [new PageBreak()] })
```
## Headers/Footers & Page Setup
```javascript
const doc = new Document({
sections: [{
properties: {
page: {
margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 }, // 1440 = 1 inch
size: { orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE },
pageNumbers: { start: 1, formatType: "decimal" } // "upperRoman", "lowerRoman", "upperLetter", "lowerLetter"
}
},
headers: {
default: new Header({ children: [new Paragraph({
alignment: AlignmentType.RIGHT,
children: [new TextRun("Header Text")]
})] })
},
footers: {
default: new Footer({ children: [new Paragraph({
alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER,
children: [new TextRun("Page "), new TextRun({ children: [PageNumber.CURRENT] }), new TextRun(" of "), new TextRun({ children: [PageNumber.TOTAL_PAGES] })]
})] })
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
});
```
## Tabs
```javascript
new Paragraph({
tabStops: [
{ type: TabStopType.LEFT, position: TabStopPosition.MAX / 4 },
{ type: TabStopType.CENTER, position: TabStopPosition.MAX / 2 },
{ type: TabStopType.RIGHT, position: TabStopPosition.MAX * 3 / 4 }
],
children: [new TextRun("Left\tCenter\tRight")]
})
```
## Constants & Quick Reference
- **Underlines:** `SINGLE`, `DOUBLE`, `WAVY`, `DASH`
- **Borders:** `SINGLE`, `DOUBLE`, `DASHED`, `DOTTED`
- **Numbering:** `DECIMAL` (1,2,3), `UPPER_ROMAN` (I,II,III), `LOWER_LETTER` (a,b,c)
- **Tabs:** `LEFT`, `CENTER`, `RIGHT`, `DECIMAL`
- **Symbols:** `"2022"` (•), `"00A9"` (©), `"00AE"` (®), `"2122"` (™), `"00B0"` (°), `"F070"` (✓), `"F0FC"` (✗)
## Critical Issues & Common Mistakes
- **CRITICAL: PageBreak must ALWAYS be inside a Paragraph** - standalone PageBreak creates invalid XML that Word cannot open
- **ALWAYS use ShadingType.CLEAR for table cell shading** - Never use ShadingType.SOLID (causes black background).
- Measurements in DXA (1440 = 1 inch) | Each table cell needs ≥1 Paragraph | TOC requires HeadingLevel styles only
- **ALWAYS use custom styles** with Arial font for professional appearance and proper visual hierarchy
- **ALWAYS set a default font** using `styles.default.document.run.font` - Arial recommended
- **ALWAYS use columnWidths array for tables** + individual cell widths for compatibility
- **NEVER use unicode symbols for bullets** - always use proper numbering configuration with `LevelFormat.BULLET` constant (NOT the string "bullet")
- **NEVER use \n for line breaks anywhere** - always use separate Paragraph elements for each line
- **ALWAYS use TextRun objects within Paragraph children** - never use text property directly on Paragraph
- **CRITICAL for images**: ImageRun REQUIRES `type` parameter - always specify "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "bmp", or "svg"
- **CRITICAL for bullets**: Must use `LevelFormat.BULLET` constant, not string "bullet", and include `text: "•"` for the bullet character
- **CRITICAL for numbering**: Each numbering reference creates an INDEPENDENT list. Same reference = continues numbering (1,2,3 then 4,5,6). Different reference = restarts at 1 (1,2,3 then 1,2,3). Use unique reference names for each separate numbered section!
- **CRITICAL for TOC**: When using TableOfContents, headings must use HeadingLevel ONLY - do NOT add custom styles to heading paragraphs or TOC will break
- **Tables**: Set `columnWidths` array + individual cell widths, apply borders to cells not table
- **Set table margins at TABLE level** for consistent cell padding (avoids repetition per cell)

# Office Open XML Technical Reference
**Important: Read this entire document before starting.** This document covers:
- [Technical Guidelines](#technical-guidelines) - Schema compliance rules and validation requirements
- [Document Content Patterns](#document-content-patterns) - XML patterns for headings, lists, tables, formatting, etc.
- [Document Library (Python)](#document-library-python) - Recommended approach for OOXML manipulation with automatic infrastructure setup
- [Tracked Changes (Redlining)](#tracked-changes-redlining) - XML patterns for implementing tracked changes
## Technical Guidelines
### Schema Compliance
- **Element ordering in `<w:pPr>`**: `<w:pStyle>`, `<w:numPr>`, `<w:spacing>`, `<w:ind>`, `<w:jc>`
- **Whitespace**: Add `xml:space='preserve'` to `<w:t>` elements with leading/trailing spaces
- **Unicode**: Escape characters in ASCII content: `"` becomes `&#8220;`
- **Character encoding reference**: Curly quotes `""` become `&#8220;&#8221;`, apostrophe `'` becomes `&#8217;`, em-dash `—` becomes `&#8212;`
- **Tracked changes**: Use `<w:del>` and `<w:ins>` tags with `w:author="Scientific-Writer"` outside `<w:r>` elements
- **Critical**: `<w:ins>` closes with `</w:ins>`, `<w:del>` closes with `</w:del>` - never mix
- **RSIDs must be 8-digit hex**: Use values like `00AB1234` (only 0-9, A-F characters)
- **trackRevisions placement**: Add `<w:trackRevisions/>` after `<w:proofState>` in settings.xml
- **Images**: Add to `word/media/`, reference in `document.xml`, set dimensions to prevent overflow
## Document Content Patterns
### Basic Structure
```xml
<w:p>
<w:r><w:t>Text content</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
```
### Headings and Styles
```xml
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="Title"/>
<w:jc w:val="center"/>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>Document Title</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
<w:p>
<w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="Heading2"/></w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>Section Heading</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
```
### Text Formatting
```xml
<!-- Bold -->
<w:r><w:rPr><w:b/><w:bCs/></w:rPr><w:t>Bold</w:t></w:r>
<!-- Italic -->
<w:r><w:rPr><w:i/><w:iCs/></w:rPr><w:t>Italic</w:t></w:r>
<!-- Underline -->
<w:r><w:rPr><w:u w:val="single"/></w:rPr><w:t>Underlined</w:t></w:r>
<!-- Highlight -->
<w:r><w:rPr><w:highlight w:val="yellow"/></w:rPr><w:t>Highlighted</w:t></w:r>
```
### Lists
```xml
<!-- Numbered list -->
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="ListParagraph"/>
<w:numPr><w:ilvl w:val="0"/><w:numId w:val="1"/></w:numPr>
<w:spacing w:before="240"/>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>First item</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
<!-- Restart numbered list at 1 - use different numId -->
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="ListParagraph"/>
<w:numPr><w:ilvl w:val="0"/><w:numId w:val="2"/></w:numPr>
<w:spacing w:before="240"/>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>New list item 1</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
<!-- Bullet list (level 2) -->
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="ListParagraph"/>
<w:numPr><w:ilvl w:val="1"/><w:numId w:val="1"/></w:numPr>
<w:spacing w:before="240"/>
<w:ind w:left="900"/>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>Bullet item</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
```
### Tables
```xml
<w:tbl>
<w:tblPr>
<w:tblStyle w:val="TableGrid"/>
<w:tblW w:w="0" w:type="auto"/>
</w:tblPr>
<w:tblGrid>
<w:gridCol w:w="4675"/><w:gridCol w:w="4675"/>
</w:tblGrid>
<w:tr>
<w:tc>
<w:tcPr><w:tcW w:w="4675" w:type="dxa"/></w:tcPr>
<w:p><w:r><w:t>Cell 1</w:t></w:r></w:p>
</w:tc>
<w:tc>
<w:tcPr><w:tcW w:w="4675" w:type="dxa"/></w:tcPr>
<w:p><w:r><w:t>Cell 2</w:t></w:r></w:p>
</w:tc>
</w:tr>
</w:tbl>
```
### Layout
```xml
<!-- Page break before new section (common pattern) -->
<w:p>
<w:r>
<w:br w:type="page"/>
</w:r>
</w:p>
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="Heading1"/>
</w:pPr>
<w:r>
<w:t>New Section Title</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p>
<!-- Centered paragraph -->
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:spacing w:before="240" w:after="0"/>
<w:jc w:val="center"/>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>Centered text</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
<!-- Font change - paragraph level (applies to all runs) -->
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Courier New" w:hAnsi="Courier New"/></w:rPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r><w:t>Monospace text</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
<!-- Font change - run level (specific to this text) -->
<w:p>
<w:r>
<w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Courier New" w:hAnsi="Courier New"/></w:rPr>
<w:t>This text is Courier New</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:r><w:t> and this text uses default font</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>
```
## File Updates
When adding content, update these files:
**`word/_rels/document.xml.rels`:**
```xml
<Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/numbering" Target="numbering.xml"/>
<Relationship Id="rId5" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="media/image1.png"/>
```
**`[Content_Types].xml`:**
```xml
<Default Extension="png" ContentType="image/png"/>
<Override PartName="/word/numbering.xml" ContentType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.numbering+xml"/>
```
### Images
**CRITICAL**: Calculate dimensions to prevent page overflow and maintain aspect ratio.
```xml
<!-- Minimal required structure -->
<w:p>
<w:r>
<w:drawing>
<wp:inline>
<wp:extent cx="2743200" cy="1828800"/>
<wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 1"/>
<a:graphic xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
<a:graphicData uri="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
<pic:pic xmlns:pic="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
<pic:nvPicPr>
<pic:cNvPr id="0" name="image1.png"/>
<pic:cNvPicPr/>
</pic:nvPicPr>
<pic:blipFill>
<a:blip r:embed="rId5"/>
<!-- Add for stretch fill with aspect ratio preservation -->
<a:stretch>
<a:fillRect/>
</a:stretch>
</pic:blipFill>
<pic:spPr>
<a:xfrm>
<a:ext cx="2743200" cy="1828800"/>
</a:xfrm>
<a:prstGeom prst="rect"/>
</pic:spPr>
</pic:pic>
</a:graphicData>
</a:graphic>
</wp:inline>
</w:drawing>
</w:r>
</w:p>
```
### Links (Hyperlinks)
**IMPORTANT**: All hyperlinks (both internal and external) require the Hyperlink style to be defined in styles.xml. Without this style, links will look like regular text instead of blue underlined clickable links.
**External Links:**
```xml
<!-- In document.xml -->
<w:hyperlink r:id="rId5">
<w:r>
<w:rPr><w:rStyle w:val="Hyperlink"/></w:rPr>
<w:t>Link Text</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:hyperlink>
<!-- In word/_rels/document.xml.rels -->
<Relationship Id="rId5" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/hyperlink"
Target="https://www.example.com/" TargetMode="External"/>
```
**Internal Links:**
```xml
<!-- Link to bookmark -->
<w:hyperlink w:anchor="myBookmark">
<w:r>
<w:rPr><w:rStyle w:val="Hyperlink"/></w:rPr>
<w:t>Link Text</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:hyperlink>
<!-- Bookmark target -->
<w:bookmarkStart w:id="0" w:name="myBookmark"/>
<w:r><w:t>Target content</w:t></w:r>
<w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0"/>
```
**Hyperlink Style (required in styles.xml):**
```xml
<w:style w:type="character" w:styleId="Hyperlink">
<w:name w:val="Hyperlink"/>
<w:basedOn w:val="DefaultParagraphFont"/>
<w:uiPriority w:val="99"/>
<w:unhideWhenUsed/>
<w:rPr>
<w:color w:val="467886" w:themeColor="hyperlink"/>
<w:u w:val="single"/>
</w:rPr>
</w:style>
```
## Document Library (Python)
Use the Document class from `scripts/document.py` for all tracked changes and comments. It automatically handles infrastructure setup (people.xml, RSIDs, settings.xml, comment files, relationships, content types). Only use direct XML manipulation for complex scenarios not supported by the library.
**Working with Unicode and Entities:**
- **Searching**: Both entity notation and Unicode characters work - `contains="&#8220;Company"` and `contains="\u201cCompany"` find the same text
- **Replacing**: Use either entities (`&#8220;`) or Unicode (`\u201c`) - both work and will be converted appropriately based on the file's encoding (ascii → entities, utf-8 → Unicode)
### Initialization
**Find the docx skill root** (directory containing `scripts/` and `ooxml/`):
```bash
# Search for document.py to locate the skill root
# Note: /mnt/skills is used here as an example; check your context for the actual location
find /mnt/skills -name "document.py" -path "*/docx/scripts/*" 2>/dev/null | head -1
# Example output: /mnt/skills/docx/scripts/document.py
# Skill root is: /mnt/skills/docx
```
**Run your script with PYTHONPATH** set to the docx skill root:
```bash
PYTHONPATH=/mnt/skills/docx python your_script.py
```
**In your script**, import from the skill root:
```python
from scripts.document import Document, DocxXMLEditor
# Basic initialization (automatically creates temp copy and sets up infrastructure)
doc = Document('unpacked')
# Customize author and initials
doc = Document('unpacked', author="John Doe", initials="JD")
# Enable track revisions mode
doc = Document('unpacked', track_revisions=True)
# Specify custom RSID (auto-generated if not provided)
doc = Document('unpacked', rsid="07DC5ECB")
```
### Creating Tracked Changes
**CRITICAL**: Only mark text that actually changes. Keep ALL unchanged text outside `<w:del>`/`<w:ins>` tags. Marking unchanged text makes edits unprofessional and harder to review.
**Attribute Handling**: The Document class auto-injects attributes (w:id, w:date, w:rsidR, w:rsidDel, w16du:dateUtc, xml:space) into new elements. When preserving unchanged text from the original document, copy the original `<w:r>` element with its existing attributes to maintain document integrity.
**Method Selection Guide**:
- **Adding your own changes to regular text**: Use `replace_node()` with `<w:del>`/`<w:ins>` tags, or `suggest_deletion()` for removing entire `<w:r>` or `<w:p>` elements
- **Partially modifying another author's tracked change**: Use `replace_node()` to nest your changes inside their `<w:ins>`/`<w:del>`
- **Completely rejecting another author's insertion**: Use `revert_insertion()` on the `<w:ins>` element (NOT `suggest_deletion()`)
- **Completely rejecting another author's deletion**: Use `revert_deletion()` on the `<w:del>` element to restore deleted content using tracked changes
```python
# Minimal edit - change one word: "The report is monthly" → "The report is quarterly"
# Original: <w:r w:rsidR="00AB12CD"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>The report is monthly</w:t></w:r>
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="The report is monthly")
rpr = tags[0].toxml() if (tags := node.getElementsByTagName("w:rPr")) else ""
replacement = f'<w:r w:rsidR="00AB12CD">{rpr}<w:t>The report is </w:t></w:r><w:del><w:r>{rpr}<w:delText>monthly</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r>{rpr}<w:t>quarterly</w:t></w:r></w:ins>'
doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(node, replacement)
# Minimal edit - change number: "within 30 days" → "within 45 days"
# Original: <w:r w:rsidR="00XYZ789"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>within 30 days</w:t></w:r>
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="within 30 days")
rpr = tags[0].toxml() if (tags := node.getElementsByTagName("w:rPr")) else ""
replacement = f'<w:r w:rsidR="00XYZ789">{rpr}<w:t>within </w:t></w:r><w:del><w:r>{rpr}<w:delText>30</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r>{rpr}<w:t>45</w:t></w:r></w:ins><w:r w:rsidR="00XYZ789">{rpr}<w:t> days</w:t></w:r>'
doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(node, replacement)
# Complete replacement - preserve formatting even when replacing all text
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="apple")
rpr = tags[0].toxml() if (tags := node.getElementsByTagName("w:rPr")) else ""
replacement = f'<w:del><w:r>{rpr}<w:delText>apple</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r>{rpr}<w:t>banana orange</w:t></w:r></w:ins>'
doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(node, replacement)
# Insert new content (no attributes needed - auto-injected)
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="existing text")
doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(node, '<w:ins><w:r><w:t>new text</w:t></w:r></w:ins>')
# Partially delete another author's insertion
# Original: <w:ins w:author="Jane Smith" w:date="..."><w:r><w:t>quarterly financial report</w:t></w:r></w:ins>
# Goal: Delete only "financial" to make it "quarterly report"
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:ins", attrs={"w:id": "5"})
# IMPORTANT: Preserve w:author="Jane Smith" on the outer <w:ins> to maintain authorship
replacement = '''<w:ins w:author="Jane Smith" w:date="2025-01-15T10:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:t>quarterly </w:t></w:r>
<w:del><w:r><w:delText>financial </w:delText></w:r></w:del>
<w:r><w:t>report</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>'''
doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(node, replacement)
# Change part of another author's insertion
# Original: <w:ins w:author="Jane Smith"><w:r><w:t>in silence, safe and sound</w:t></w:r></w:ins>
# Goal: Change "safe and sound" to "soft and unbound"
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:ins", attrs={"w:id": "8"})
replacement = f'''<w:ins w:author="Jane Smith" w:date="2025-01-15T10:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:t>in silence, </w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
<w:ins>
<w:r><w:t>soft and unbound</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
<w:ins w:author="Jane Smith" w:date="2025-01-15T10:00:00Z">
<w:del><w:r><w:delText>safe and sound</w:delText></w:r></w:del>
</w:ins>'''
doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(node, replacement)
# Delete entire run (use only when deleting all content; use replace_node for partial deletions)
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="text to delete")
doc["word/document.xml"].suggest_deletion(node)
# Delete entire paragraph (in-place, handles both regular and numbered list paragraphs)
para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="paragraph to delete")
doc["word/document.xml"].suggest_deletion(para)
# Add new numbered list item
target_para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="existing list item")
pPr = tags[0].toxml() if (tags := target_para.getElementsByTagName("w:pPr")) else ""
new_item = f'<w:p>{pPr}<w:r><w:t>New item</w:t></w:r></w:p>'
tracked_para = DocxXMLEditor.suggest_paragraph(new_item)
doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(target_para, tracked_para)
# Optional: add spacing paragraph before content for better visual separation
# spacing = DocxXMLEditor.suggest_paragraph('<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="ListParagraph"/></w:pPr></w:p>')
# doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(target_para, spacing + tracked_para)
```
### Adding Comments
```python
# Add comment spanning two existing tracked changes
# Note: w:id is auto-generated. Only search by w:id if you know it from XML inspection
start_node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:del", attrs={"w:id": "1"})
end_node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:ins", attrs={"w:id": "2"})
doc.add_comment(start=start_node, end=end_node, text="Explanation of this change")
# Add comment on a paragraph
para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="paragraph text")
doc.add_comment(start=para, end=para, text="Comment on this paragraph")
# Add comment on newly created tracked change
# First create the tracked change
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="old")
new_nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(
node,
'<w:del><w:r><w:delText>old</w:delText></w:r></w:del><w:ins><w:r><w:t>new</w:t></w:r></w:ins>'
)
# Then add comment on the newly created elements
# new_nodes[0] is the <w:del>, new_nodes[1] is the <w:ins>
doc.add_comment(start=new_nodes[0], end=new_nodes[1], text="Changed old to new per requirements")
# Reply to existing comment
doc.reply_to_comment(parent_comment_id=0, text="I agree with this change")
```
### Rejecting Tracked Changes
**IMPORTANT**: Use `revert_insertion()` to reject insertions and `revert_deletion()` to restore deletions using tracked changes. Use `suggest_deletion()` only for regular unmarked content.
```python
# Reject insertion (wraps it in deletion)
# Use this when another author inserted text that you want to delete
ins = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:ins", attrs={"w:id": "5"})
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].revert_insertion(ins) # Returns [ins]
# Reject deletion (creates insertion to restore deleted content)
# Use this when another author deleted text that you want to restore
del_elem = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:del", attrs={"w:id": "3"})
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].revert_deletion(del_elem) # Returns [del_elem, new_ins]
# Reject all insertions in a paragraph
para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="paragraph text")
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].revert_insertion(para) # Returns [para]
# Reject all deletions in a paragraph
para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="paragraph text")
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].revert_deletion(para) # Returns [para]
```
### Inserting Images
**CRITICAL**: The Document class works with a temporary copy at `doc.unpacked_path`. Always copy images to this temp directory, not the original unpacked folder.
```python
from PIL import Image
import shutil, os
# Initialize document first
doc = Document('unpacked')
# Copy image and calculate full-width dimensions with aspect ratio
media_dir = os.path.join(doc.unpacked_path, 'word/media')
os.makedirs(media_dir, exist_ok=True)
shutil.copy('image.png', os.path.join(media_dir, 'image1.png'))
img = Image.open(os.path.join(media_dir, 'image1.png'))
width_emus = int(6.5 * 914400) # 6.5" usable width, 914400 EMUs/inch
height_emus = int(width_emus * img.size[1] / img.size[0])
# Add relationship and content type
rels_editor = doc['word/_rels/document.xml.rels']
next_rid = rels_editor.get_next_rid()
rels_editor.append_to(rels_editor.dom.documentElement,
f'<Relationship Id="{next_rid}" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="media/image1.png"/>')
doc['[Content_Types].xml'].append_to(doc['[Content_Types].xml'].dom.documentElement,
'<Default Extension="png" ContentType="image/png"/>')
# Insert image
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", line_number=100)
doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(node, f'''<w:p>
<w:r>
<w:drawing>
<wp:inline distT="0" distB="0" distL="0" distR="0">
<wp:extent cx="{width_emus}" cy="{height_emus}"/>
<wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 1"/>
<a:graphic xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
<a:graphicData uri="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
<pic:pic xmlns:pic="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
<pic:nvPicPr><pic:cNvPr id="1" name="image1.png"/><pic:cNvPicPr/></pic:nvPicPr>
<pic:blipFill><a:blip r:embed="{next_rid}"/><a:stretch><a:fillRect/></a:stretch></pic:blipFill>
<pic:spPr><a:xfrm><a:ext cx="{width_emus}" cy="{height_emus}"/></a:xfrm><a:prstGeom prst="rect"><a:avLst/></a:prstGeom></pic:spPr>
</pic:pic>
</a:graphicData>
</a:graphic>
</wp:inline>
</w:drawing>
</w:r>
</w:p>''')
```
### Getting Nodes
```python
# By text content
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="specific text")
# By line range
para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", line_number=range(100, 150))
# By attributes
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:del", attrs={"w:id": "1"})
# By exact line number (must be line number where tag opens)
para = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", line_number=42)
# Combine filters
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", line_number=range(40, 60), contains="text")
# Disambiguate when text appears multiple times - add line_number range
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", contains="Section", line_number=range(2400, 2500))
```
### Saving
```python
# Save with automatic validation (copies back to original directory)
doc.save() # Validates by default, raises error if validation fails
# Save to different location
doc.save('modified-unpacked')
# Skip validation (debugging only - needing this in production indicates XML issues)
doc.save(validate=False)
```
### Direct DOM Manipulation
For complex scenarios not covered by the library:
```python
# Access any XML file
editor = doc["word/document.xml"]
editor = doc["word/comments.xml"]
# Direct DOM access (defusedxml.minidom.Document)
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", line_number=5)
parent = node.parentNode
parent.removeChild(node)
parent.appendChild(node) # Move to end
# General document manipulation (without tracked changes)
old_node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:p", contains="original text")
doc["word/document.xml"].replace_node(old_node, "<w:p><w:r><w:t>replacement text</w:t></w:r></w:p>")
# Multiple insertions - use return value to maintain order
node = doc["word/document.xml"].get_node(tag="w:r", line_number=100)
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(node, "<w:r><w:t>A</w:t></w:r>")
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(nodes[-1], "<w:r><w:t>B</w:t></w:r>")
nodes = doc["word/document.xml"].insert_after(nodes[-1], "<w:r><w:t>C</w:t></w:r>")
# Results in: original_node, A, B, C
```
## Tracked Changes (Redlining)
**Use the Document class above for all tracked changes.** The patterns below are for reference when constructing replacement XML strings.
### Validation Rules
The validator checks that the document text matches the original after reverting Scientific-Writer's changes. This means:
- **NEVER modify text inside another author's `<w:ins>` or `<w:del>` tags**
- **ALWAYS use nested deletions** to remove another author's insertions
- **Every edit must be properly tracked** with `<w:ins>` or `<w:del>` tags
### Tracked Change Patterns
**CRITICAL RULES**:
1. Never modify the content inside another author's tracked changes. Always use nested deletions.
2. **XML Structure**: Always place `<w:del>` and `<w:ins>` at paragraph level containing complete `<w:r>` elements. Never nest inside `<w:r>` elements - this creates invalid XML that breaks document processing.
**Text Insertion:**
```xml
<w:ins w:id="1" w:author="Scientific-Writer" w:date="2025-07-30T23:05:00Z" w16du:dateUtc="2025-07-31T06:05:00Z">
<w:r w:rsidR="00792858">
<w:t>inserted text</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:ins>
```
**Text Deletion:**
```xml
<w:del w:id="2" w:author="Scientific-Writer" w:date="2025-07-30T23:05:00Z" w16du:dateUtc="2025-07-31T06:05:00Z">
<w:r w:rsidDel="00792858">
<w:delText>deleted text</w:delText>
</w:r>
</w:del>
```
**Deleting Another Author's Insertion (MUST use nested structure):**
```xml
<!-- Nest deletion inside the original insertion -->
<w:ins w:author="Jane Smith" w:id="16">
<w:del w:author="Scientific-Writer" w:id="40">
<w:r><w:delText>monthly</w:delText></w:r>

</w:ins>
<w:ins w:author="Scientific-Writer" w:id="41">
<w:r><w:t>weekly</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
```
**Restoring Another Author's Deletion:**
```xml
<!-- Leave their deletion unchanged, add new insertion after it -->
<w:del w:author="Jane Smith" w:id="50">
<w:r><w:delText>within 30 days</w:delText></w:r>

**CRITICAL: You MUST complete these steps in order. Do not skip ahead to writing code.**
If you need to fill out a PDF form, first check to see if the PDF has fillable form fields. Run this script from this file's directory:
`python scripts/check_fillable_fields <file.pdf>`, and depending on the result go to either the "Fillable fields" or "Non-fillable fields" and follow those instructions.
# Fillable fields
If the PDF has fillable form fields:
- Run this script from this file's directory: `python scripts/extract_form_field_info.py <input.pdf> <field_info.json>`. It will create a JSON file with a list of fields in this format:
```
[
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"rect": ([left, bottom, right, top] bounding box in PDF coordinates, y=0 is the bottom of the page),
"type": ("text", "checkbox", "radio_group", or "choice"),
},
// Checkboxes have "checked_value" and "unchecked_value" properties:
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "checkbox",
"checked_value": (Set the field to this value to check the checkbox),
"unchecked_value": (Set the field to this value to uncheck the checkbox),
},
// Radio groups have a "radio_options" list with the possible choices.
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "radio_group",
"radio_options": [
{
"value": (set the field to this value to select this radio option),
"rect": (bounding box for the radio button for this option)
},
// Other radio options
]
},
// Multiple choice fields have a "choice_options" list with the possible choices:
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "choice",
"choice_options": [
{
"value": (set the field to this value to select this option),
"text": (display text of the option)
},
// Other choice options
],
}
]
```
- Convert the PDF to PNGs (one image for each page) with this script (run from this file's directory):
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <file.pdf> <output_directory>`
Then analyze the images to determine the purpose of each form field (make sure to convert the bounding box PDF coordinates to image coordinates).
- Create a `field_values.json` file in this format with the values to be entered for each field:
```
[
{
"field_id": "last_name", // Must match the field_id from `extract_form_field_info.py`
"description": "The user's last name",
"page": 1, // Must match the "page" value in field_info.json
"value": "Simpson"
},
{
"field_id": "Checkbox12",
"description": "Checkbox to be checked if the user is 18 or over",
"page": 1,
"value": "/On" // If this is a checkbox, use its "checked_value" value to check it. If it's a radio button group, use one of the "value" values in "radio_options".
},
// more fields
]
```
- Run the `fill_fillable_fields.py` script from this file's directory to create a filled-in PDF:
`python scripts/fill_fillable_fields.py <input pdf> <field_values.json> <output pdf>`
This script will verify that the field IDs and values you provide are valid; if it prints error messages, correct the appropriate fields and try again.
# Non-fillable fields
If the PDF doesn't have fillable form fields, you'll need to visually determine where the data should be added and create text annotations. Follow the below steps *exactly*. You MUST perform all of these steps to ensure that the the form is accurately completed. Details for each step are below.
- Convert the PDF to PNG images and determine field bounding boxes.
- Create a JSON file with field information and validation images showing the bounding boxes.
- Validate the the bounding boxes.
- Use the bounding boxes to fill in the form.
## Step 1: Visual Analysis (REQUIRED)
- Convert the PDF to PNG images. Run this script from this file's directory:
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <file.pdf> <output_directory>`
The script will create a PNG image for each page in the PDF.
- Carefully examine each PNG image and identify all form fields and areas where the user should enter data. For each form field where the user should enter text, determine bounding boxes for both the form field label, and the area where the user should enter text. The label and entry bounding boxes MUST NOT INTERSECT; the text entry box should only include the area where data should be entered. Usually this area will be immediately to the side, above, or below its label. Entry bounding boxes must be tall and wide enough to contain their text.
These are some examples of form structures that you might see:
*Label inside box*
```
┌────────────────────────┐
│ Name: │
└────────────────────────┘
```
The input area should be to the right of the "Name" label and extend to the edge of the box.
*Label before line*
```
Email: _______________________
```
The input area should be above the line and include its entire width.
*Label under line*
```
_________________________
Name
```
The input area should be above the line and include the entire width of the line. This is common for signature and date fields.
*Label above line*
```
Please enter any special requests:
________________________________________________
```
The input area should extend from the bottom of the label to the line, and should include the entire width of the line.
*Checkboxes*
```
Are you a US citizen? Yes □ No □
```
For checkboxes:
- Look for small square boxes (□) - these are the actual checkboxes to target. They may be to the left or right of their labels.
- Distinguish between label text ("Yes", "No") and the clickable checkbox squares.
- The entry bounding box should cover ONLY the small square, not the text label.
### Step 2: Create fields.json and validation images (REQUIRED)
- Create a file named `fields.json` with information for the form fields and bounding boxes in this format:
```
{
"pages": [
{
"page_number": 1,
"image_width": (first page image width in pixels),
"image_height": (first page image height in pixels),
},
{
"page_number": 2,
"image_width": (second page image width in pixels),
"image_height": (second page image height in pixels),
}
// additional pages
],
"form_fields": [
// Example for a text field.
{
"page_number": 1,
"description": "The user's last name should be entered here",
// Bounding boxes are [left, top, right, bottom]. The bounding boxes for the label and text entry should not overlap.
"field_label": "Last name",
"label_bounding_box": [30, 125, 95, 142],
"entry_bounding_box": [100, 125, 280, 142],
"entry_text": {
"text": "Johnson", // This text will be added as an annotation at the entry_bounding_box location
"font_size": 14, // optional, defaults to 14
"font_color": "000000", // optional, RRGGBB format, defaults to 000000 (black)
}
},
// Example for a checkbox. TARGET THE SQUARE for the entry bounding box, NOT THE TEXT
{
"page_number": 2,
"description": "Checkbox that should be checked if the user is over 18",
"entry_bounding_box": [140, 525, 155, 540], // Small box over checkbox square
"field_label": "Yes",
"label_bounding_box": [100, 525, 132, 540], // Box containing "Yes" text
// Use "X" to check a checkbox.
"entry_text": {
"text": "X",
}
}
// additional form field entries
]
}
```
Create validation images by running this script from this file's directory for each page:
`python scripts/create_validation_image.py <page_number> <path_to_fields.json> <input_image_path> <output_image_path>
The validation images will have red rectangles where text should be entered, and blue rectangles covering label text.
### Step 3: Validate Bounding Boxes (REQUIRED)
#### Automated intersection check
- Verify that none of bounding boxes intersect and that the entry bounding boxes are tall enough by checking the fields.json file with the `check_bounding_boxes.py` script (run from this file's directory):
`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py <JSON file>`
If there are errors, reanalyze the relevant fields, adjust the bounding boxes, and iterate until there are no remaining errors. Remember: label (blue) bounding boxes should contain text labels, entry (red) boxes should not.
#### Manual image inspection
**CRITICAL: Do not proceed without visually inspecting validation images**
- Red rectangles must ONLY cover input areas
- Red rectangles MUST NOT contain any text
- Blue rectangles should contain label text
- For checkboxes:
- Red rectangle MUST be centered on the checkbox square
- Blue rectangle should cover the text label for the checkbox
- If any rectangles look wrong, fix fields.json, regenerate the validation images, and verify again. Repeat this process until the bounding boxes are fully accurate.
### Step 4: Add annotations to the PDF
Run this script from this file's directory to create a filled-out PDF using the information in fields.json:
`python scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py <input_pdf_path> <path_to_fields.json> <output_pdf_path>

# PPTX creation, editing, and analysis
## Overview
A .pptx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files and resources. Create, edit, or analyze PowerPoint presentations using text extraction, raw XML access, or html2pptx workflows. Apply this skill for programmatic presentation creation and modification.
## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics
**When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.**
If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
- Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic
**For new documents:** Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.
**How to generate schematics:**
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
```
The AI will automatically:
- Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
- Review and refine through multiple iterations
- Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
- Save outputs in the figures/ directory
**When to add schematics:**
- Presentation workflow diagrams for slides
- Slide design process flowcharts
- Content organization diagrams
- System architecture illustrations
- Process flow visualizations
- Any complex concept that benefits from visualization
For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.
---
## Reading and analyzing content
### Text extraction
To read the text contents of a presentation, convert the document to markdown:
```bash
# Convert document to markdown
python -m markitdown path-to-file.pptx
```
### Raw XML access
Raw XML access is required for: comments, speaker notes, slide layouts, animations, design elements, and complex formatting. For any of these features, unpack a presentation and read its raw XML contents.
#### Unpacking a file
`python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_dir>`
**Note**: The unpack.py script is located at `skills/pptx/ooxml/scripts/unpack.py` relative to the project root. If the script doesn't exist at this path, use `find . -name "unpack.py"` to locate it.
#### Key file structures
* `ppt/presentation.xml` - Main presentation metadata and slide references
* `ppt/slides/slide{N}.xml` - Individual slide contents (slide1.xml, slide2.xml, etc.)
* `ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide{N}.xml` - Speaker notes for each slide
* `ppt/comments/modernComment_*.xml` - Comments for specific slides
* `ppt/slideLayouts/` - Layout templates for slides
* `ppt/slideMasters/` - Master slide templates
* `ppt/theme/` - Theme and styling information
* `ppt/media/` - Images and other media files
#### Typography and color extraction
**When given an example design to emulate**: Always analyze the presentation's typography and colors first using the methods below:
1. **Read theme file**: Check `ppt/theme/theme1.xml` for colors (`<a:clrScheme>`) and fonts (`<a:fontScheme>`)
2. **Sample slide content**: Examine `ppt/slides/slide1.xml` for actual font usage (`<a:rPr>`) and colors
3. **Search for patterns**: Use grep to find color (`<a:solidFill>`, `<a:srgbClr>`) and font references across all XML files
## Creating a new PowerPoint presentation **without a template**
When creating a new PowerPoint presentation from scratch, use the **html2pptx** workflow to convert HTML slides to PowerPoint with accurate positioning.
### Design Principles
**CRITICAL**: Before creating any presentation, analyze the content and choose appropriate design elements:
1. **Consider the subject matter**: What is this presentation about? What tone, industry, or mood does it suggest?
2. **Check for branding**: If the user mentions a company/organization, consider their brand colors and identity
3. **Match palette to content**: Select colors that reflect the subject
4. **State your approach**: Explain your design choices before writing code
**Requirements**:
- ✅ State your content-informed design approach BEFORE writing code
- ✅ Use web-safe fonts only: Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Georgia, Courier New, Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Impact
- ✅ Create clear visual hierarchy through size, weight, and color
- ✅ Ensure readability: strong contrast, appropriately sized text, clean alignment
- ✅ Be consistent: repeat patterns, spacing, and visual language across slides
#### Color Palette Selection
**Choosing colors creatively**:
- **Think beyond defaults**: What colors genuinely match this specific topic? Avoid autopilot choices.
- **Consider multiple angles**: Topic, industry, mood, energy level, target audience, brand identity (if mentioned)
- **Be adventurous**: Try unexpected combinations - a healthcare presentation doesn't have to be green, finance doesn't have to be navy
- **Build your palette**: Pick 3-5 colors that work together (dominant colors + supporting tones + accent)
- **Ensure contrast**: Text must be clearly readable on backgrounds
**Example color palettes** (use these to spark creativity - choose one, adapt it, or create your own):
1. **Classic Blue**: Deep navy (#1C2833), slate gray (#2E4053), silver (#AAB7B8), off-white (#F4F6F6)
2. **Teal & Coral**: Teal (#5EA8A7), deep teal (#277884), coral (#FE4447), white (#FFFFFF)
3. **Bold Red**: Red (#C0392B), bright red (#E74C3C), orange (#F39C12), yellow (#F1C40F), green (#2ECC71)
4. **Warm Blush**: Mauve (#A49393), blush (#EED6D3), rose (#E8B4B8), cream (#FAF7F2)
5. **Burgundy Luxury**: Burgundy (#5D1D2E), crimson (#951233), rust (#C15937), gold (#997929)
6. **Deep Purple & Emerald**: Purple (#B165FB), dark blue (#181B24), emerald (#40695B), white (#FFFFFF)
7. **Cream & Forest Green**: Cream (#FFE1C7), forest green (#40695B), white (#FCFCFC)
8. **Pink & Purple**: Pink (#F8275B), coral (#FF574A), rose (#FF737D), purple (#3D2F68)
9. **Lime & Plum**: Lime (#C5DE82), plum (#7C3A5F), coral (#FD8C6E), blue-gray (#98ACB5)
10. **Black & Gold**: Gold (#BF9A4A), black (#000000), cream (#F4F6F6)
11. **Sage & Terracotta**: Sage (#87A96B), terracotta (#E07A5F), cream (#F4F1DE), charcoal (#2C2C2C)
12. **Charcoal & Red**: Charcoal (#292929), red (#E33737), light gray (#CCCBCB)
13. **Vibrant Orange**: Orange (#F96D00), light gray (#F2F2F2), charcoal (#222831)
14. **Forest Green**: Black (#191A19), green (#4E9F3D), dark green (#1E5128), white (#FFFFFF)
15. **Retro Rainbow**: Purple (#722880), pink (#D72D51), orange (#EB5C18), amber (#F08800), gold (#DEB600)
16. **Vintage Earthy**: Mustard (#E3B448), sage (#CBD18F), forest green (#3A6B35), cream (#F4F1DE)
17. **Coastal Rose**: Old rose (#AD7670), beaver (#B49886), eggshell (#F3ECDC), ash gray (#BFD5BE)
18. **Orange & Turquoise**: Light orange (#FC993E), grayish turquoise (#667C6F), white (#FCFCFC)
#### Visual Details Options
**Geometric Patterns**:
- Diagonal section dividers instead of horizontal
- Asymmetric column widths (30/70, 40/60, 25/75)
- Rotated text headers at 90° or 270°
- Circular/hexagonal frames for images
- Triangular accent shapes in corners
- Overlapping shapes for depth
**Border & Frame Treatments**:
- Thick single-color borders (10-20pt) on one side only
- Double-line borders with contrasting colors
- Corner brackets instead of full frames
- L-shaped borders (top+left or bottom+right)
- Underline accents beneath headers (3-5pt thick)
**Typography Treatments**:
- Extreme size contrast (72pt headlines vs 11pt body)
- All-caps headers with wide letter spacing
- Numbered sections in oversized display type
- Monospace (Courier New) for data/stats/technical content
- Condensed fonts (Arial Narrow) for dense information
- Outlined text for emphasis
**Chart & Data Styling**:
- Monochrome charts with single accent color for key data
- Horizontal bar charts instead of vertical
- Dot plots instead of bar charts
- Minimal gridlines or none at all
- Data labels directly on elements (no legends)
- Oversized numbers for key metrics
**Layout Innovations**:
- Full-bleed images with text overlays
- Sidebar column (20-30% width) for navigation/context
- Modular grid systems (3×3, 4×4 blocks)
- Z-pattern or F-pattern content flow
- Floating text boxes over colored shapes
- Magazine-style multi-column layouts
**Background Treatments**:
- Solid color blocks occupying 40-60% of slide
- Gradient fills (vertical or diagonal only)
- Split backgrounds (two colors, diagonal or vertical)
- Edge-to-edge color bands
- Negative space as a design element
### Layout Tips
**For slides with charts or tables:**
- **Two-column layout (PREFERRED)**: Use a header spanning the full width, then two columns below - text/bullets in one column and the featured content in the other. This provides better balance and makes charts/tables more readable. Use flexbox with unequal column widths (e.g., 40%/60% split) to optimize space for each content type.
- **Full-slide layout**: Let the featured content (chart/table) take up the entire slide for maximum impact and readability
- **NEVER vertically stack**: Do not place charts/tables below text in a single column - this causes poor readability and layout issues
### Workflow
1. **MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE**: Read [`html2pptx.md`](html2pptx.md) completely from start to finish. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.** Read the full file content for detailed syntax, critical formatting rules, and best practices before proceeding with presentation creation.
2. Create an HTML file for each slide with proper dimensions (e.g., 720pt × 405pt for 16:9)
- Use `<p>`, `<h1>`-`<h6>`, `<ul>`, `<ol>` for all text content
- Use `class="placeholder"` for areas where charts/tables will be added (render with gray background for visibility)
- **CRITICAL**: Rasterize gradients and icons as PNG images FIRST using Sharp, then reference in HTML
- **LAYOUT**: For slides with charts/tables/images, use either full-slide layout or two-column layout for better readability
3. Create and run a JavaScript file using the [`html2pptx.js`](scripts/html2pptx.js) library to convert HTML slides to PowerPoint and save the presentation
- Use the `html2pptx()` function to process each HTML file
- Add charts and tables to placeholder areas using PptxGenJS API
- Save the presentation using `pptx.writeFile()`
4. **Visual validation**: Generate thumbnails and inspect for layout issues
- Create thumbnail grid: `python scripts/thumbnail.py output.pptx workspace/thumbnails --cols 4`
- Read and carefully examine the thumbnail image for:
- **Text cutoff**: Text being cut off by header bars, shapes, or slide edges
- **Text overlap**: Text overlapping with other text or shapes
- **Positioning issues**: Content too close to slide boundaries or other elements
- **Contrast issues**: Insufficient contrast between text and backgrounds
- If issues found, adjust HTML margins/spacing/colors and regenerate the presentation
- Repeat until all slides are visually correct
## Editing an existing PowerPoint presentation
To edit slides in an existing PowerPoint presentation, work with the raw Office Open XML (OOXML) format. This involves unpacking the .pptx file, editing the XML content, and repacking it.
### Workflow
1. **MANDATORY - READ ENTIRE FILE**: Read [`ooxml.md`](ooxml.md) (~500 lines) completely from start to finish. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.** Read the full file content for detailed guidance on OOXML structure and editing workflows before any presentation editing.
2. Unpack the presentation: `python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_dir>`
3. Edit the XML files (primarily `ppt/slides/slide{N}.xml` and related files)
4. **CRITICAL**: Validate immediately after each edit and fix any validation errors before proceeding: `python ooxml/scripts/validate.py <dir> --original <file>`
5. Pack the final presentation: `python ooxml/scripts/pack.py <input_directory> <office_file>`
## Creating a new PowerPoint presentation **using a template**
To create a presentation that follows an existing template's design, duplicate and re-arrange template slides before replacing placeholder context.
### Workflow
1. **Extract template text AND create visual thumbnail grid**:
* Extract text: `python -m markitdown template.pptx > template-content.md`
* Read `template-content.md`: Read the entire file to understand the contents of the template presentation. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.**
* Create thumbnail grids: `python scripts/thumbnail.py template.pptx`
* See [Creating Thumbnail Grids](#creating-thumbnail-grids) section for more details
2. **Analyze template and save inventory to a file**:
* **Visual Analysis**: Review thumbnail grid(s) to understand slide layouts, design patterns, and visual structure
* Create and save a template inventory file at `template-inventory.md` containing:
```markdown
# Template Inventory Analysis
**Total Slides: [count]**
**IMPORTANT: Slides are 0-indexed (first slide = 0, last slide = count-1)**
## [Category Name]
- Slide 0: [Layout code if available] - Description/purpose
- Slide 1: [Layout code] - Description/purpose
- Slide 2: [Layout code] - Description/purpose
[... EVERY slide must be listed individually with its index ...]
```
* **Using the thumbnail grid**: Reference the visual thumbnails to identify:
- Layout patterns (title slides, content layouts, section dividers)
- Image placeholder locations and counts
- Design consistency across slide groups
- Visual hierarchy and structure
* This inventory file is REQUIRED for selecting appropriate templates in the next step
3. **Create presentation outline based on template inventory**:
* Review available templates from step 2.
* Choose an intro or title template for the first slide. This should be one of the first templates.
* Choose safe, text-based layouts for the other slides.
* **CRITICAL: Match layout structure to actual content**:
- Single-column layouts: Use for unified narrative or single topic
- Two-column layouts: Use ONLY when there are exactly 2 distinct items/concepts
- Three-column layouts: Use ONLY when there are exactly 3 distinct items/concepts
- Image + text layouts: Use ONLY when actual images are available to insert
- Quote layouts: Use ONLY for actual quotes from people (with attribution), never for emphasis
- Never use layouts with more placeholders than available content
- If there are 2 items, don't force them into a 3-column layout
- If there are 4+ items, consider breaking into multiple slides or using a list format
* Count actual content pieces BEFORE selecting the layout
* Verify each placeholder in the chosen layout will be filled with meaningful content
* Select one option representing the **best** layout for each content section.
* Save `outline.md` with content AND template mapping that leverages available designs
* Example template mapping:
```
# Template slides to use (0-based indexing)
# WARNING: Verify indices are within range! Template with 73 slides has indices 0-72
# Mapping: slide numbers from outline -> template slide indices
template_mapping = [
0, # Use slide 0 (Title/Cover)
34, # Use slide 34 (B1: Title and body)
34, # Use slide 34 again (duplicate for second B1)
50, # Use slide 50 (E1: Quote)
54, # Use slide 54 (F2: Closing + Text)
]
```
4. **Duplicate, reorder, and delete slides using `rearrange.py`**:
* Use the `scripts/rearrange.py` script to create a new presentation with slides in the desired order:
```bash
python scripts/rearrange.py template.pptx working.pptx 0,34,34,50,52
```
* The script handles duplicating repeated slides, deleting unused slides, and reordering automatically
* Slide indices are 0-based (first slide is 0, second is 1, etc.)
* The same slide index can appear multiple times to duplicate that slide
5. **Extract ALL text using the `inventory.py` script**:
* **Run inventory extraction**:
```bash
python scripts/inventory.py working.pptx text-inventory.json
```
* **Read text-inventory.json**: Read the entire text-inventory.json file to understand all shapes and their properties. **NEVER set any range limits when reading this file.**
* The inventory JSON structure:
```json
{
"slide-0": {
"shape-0": {
"placeholder_type": "TITLE", // or null for non-placeholders
"left": 1.5, // position in inches
"top": 2.0,
"width": 7.5,
"height": 1.2,
"paragraphs": [
{
"text": "Paragraph text",
// Optional properties (only included when non-default):
"bullet": true, // explicit bullet detected
"level": 0, // only included when bullet is true
"alignment": "CENTER", // CENTER, RIGHT (not LEFT)
"space_before": 10.0, // space before paragraph in points
"space_after": 6.0, // space after paragraph in points
"line_spacing": 22.4, // line spacing in points
"font_name": "Arial", // from first run
"font_size": 14.0, // in points
"bold": true,
"italic": false,
"underline": false,
"color": "FF0000" // RGB color
}
]
}
}
}
```
* Key features:
- **Slides**: Named as "slide-0", "slide-1", etc.
- **Shapes**: Ordered by visual position (top-to-bottom, left-to-right) as "shape-0", "shape-1", etc.
- **Placeholder types**: TITLE, CENTER_TITLE, SUBTITLE, BODY, OBJECT, or null
- **Default font size**: `default_font_size` in points extracted from layout placeholders (when available)
- **Slide numbers are filtered**: Shapes with SLIDE_NUMBER placeholder type are automatically excluded from inventory
- **Bullets**: When `bullet: true`, `level` is always included (even if 0)
- **Spacing**: `space_before`, `space_after`, and `line_spacing` in points (only included when set)
- **Colors**: `color` for RGB (e.g., "FF0000"), `theme_color` for theme colors (e.g., "DARK_1")
- **Properties**: Only non-default values are included in the output
6. **Generate replacement text and save the data to a JSON file**
Based on the text inventory from the previous step:
- **CRITICAL**: First verify which shapes exist in the inventory - only reference shapes that are actually present
- **VALIDATION**: The replace.py script will validate that all shapes in the replacement JSON exist in the inventory
- If a non-existent shape is referenced, an error will show available shapes
- If a non-existent slide is referenced, an error will indicate the slide doesn't exist
- All validation errors are shown at once before the script exits
- **IMPORTANT**: The replace.py script uses inventory.py internally to identify ALL text shapes
- **AUTOMATIC CLEARING**: ALL text shapes from the inventory will be cleared unless you provide "paragraphs" for them
- Add a "paragraphs" field to shapes that need content (not "replacement_paragraphs")
- Shapes without "paragraphs" in the replacement JSON will have their text cleared automatically
- Paragraphs with bullets will be automatically left aligned. Don't set the `alignment` property on when `"bullet": true`
- Generate appropriate replacement content for placeholder text
- Use shape size to determine appropriate content length
- **CRITICAL**: Include paragraph properties from the original inventory - don't just provide text
- **IMPORTANT**: When bullet: true, do NOT include bullet symbols (•, -, *) in text - they are added automatically
- **ESSENTIAL FORMATTING RULES**:
- Headers/titles should typically have `"bold": true`
- List items should have `"bullet": true, "level": 0` (level is required when bullet is true)
- Preserve any alignment properties (e.g., `"alignment": "CENTER"` for centered text)
- Include font properties when different from default (e.g., `"font_size": 14.0`, `"font_name": "Lora"`)
- Colors: Use `"color": "FF0000"` for RGB or `"theme_color": "DARK_1"` for theme colors
- The replacement script expects **properly formatted paragraphs**, not just text strings
- **Overlapping shapes**: Prefer shapes with larger default_font_size or more appropriate placeholder_type
- Save the updated inventory with replacements to `replacement-text.json`
- **WARNING**: Different template layouts have different shape counts - always check the actual inventory before creating replacements
Example paragraphs field showing proper formatting:
```json
"paragraphs": [
{
"text": "New presentation title text",
"alignment": "CENTER",
"bold": true
},
{
"text": "Section Header",
"bold": true
},
{
"text": "First bullet point without bullet symbol",
"bullet": true,
"level": 0
},
{
"text": "Red colored text",
"color": "FF0000"
},
{
"text": "Theme colored text",
"theme_color": "DARK_1"
},
{
"text": "Regular paragraph text without special formatting"
}
]
```
**Shapes not listed in the replacement JSON are automatically cleared**:
```json
{
"slide-0": {
"shape-0": {
"paragraphs": [...] // This shape gets new text
}
// shape-1 and shape-2 from inventory will be cleared automatically
}
}
```
**Common formatting patterns for presentations**:
- Title slides: Bold text, sometimes centered
- Section headers within slides: Bold text
- Bullet lists: Each item needs `"bullet": true, "level": 0`
- Body text: Usually no special properties needed
- Quotes: May have special alignment or font properties
7. **Apply replacements using the `replace.py` script**
```bash
python scripts/replace.py working.pptx replacement-text.json output.pptx
```
The script will:
- First extract the inventory of ALL text shapes using functions from inventory.py
- Validate that all shapes in the replacement JSON exist in the inventory
- Clear text from ALL shapes identified in the inventory
- Apply new text only to shapes with "paragraphs" defined in the replacement JSON
- Preserve formatting by applying paragraph properties from the JSON
- Handle bullets, alignment, font properties, and colors automatically
- Save the updated presentation
Example validation errors:
```
ERROR: Invalid shapes in replacement JSON:
- Shape 'shape-99' not found on 'slide-0'. Available shapes: shape-0, shape-1, shape-4
- Slide 'slide-999' not found in inventory
```
```
ERROR: Replacement text made overflow worse in these shapes:
- slide-0/shape-2: overflow worsened by 1.25" (was 0.00", now 1.25")
```
## Creating Thumbnail Grids
To create visual thumbnail grids of PowerPoint slides for quick analysis and reference:
```bash
python scripts/thumbnail.py template.pptx [output_prefix]
```
**Features**:
- Creates: `thumbnails.jpg` (or `thumbnails-1.jpg`, `thumbnails-2.jpg`, etc. for large decks)
- Default: 5 columns, max 30 slides per grid (5×6)
- Custom prefix: `python scripts/thumbnail.py template.pptx my-grid`
- Note: The output prefix should include the path if you want output in a specific directory (e.g., `workspace/my-grid`)
- Adjust columns: `--cols 4` (range: 3-6, affects slides per grid)
- Grid limits: 3 cols = 12 slides/grid, 4 cols = 20, 5 cols = 30, 6 cols = 42
- Slides are zero-indexed (Slide 0, Slide 1, etc.)
**Use cases**:
- Template analysis: Quickly understand slide layouts and design patterns
- Content review: Visual overview of entire presentation
- Navigation reference: Find specific slides by their visual appearance
- Quality check: Verify all slides are properly formatted
**Examples**:
```bash
# Basic usage
python scripts/thumbnail.py presentation.pptx
# Combine options: custom name, columns
python scripts/thumbnail.py template.pptx analysis --cols 4
```
## Converting Slides to Images
To visually analyze PowerPoint slides, convert them to images using a two-step process:
1. **Convert PPTX to PDF**:
```bash
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf template.pptx
```
2. **Convert PDF pages to JPEG images**:
```bash
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 template.pdf slide
```
This creates files like `slide-1.jpg`, `slide-2.jpg`, etc.
Options:
- `-r 150`: Sets resolution to 150 DPI (adjust for quality/size balance)
- `-jpeg`: Output JPEG format (use `-png` for PNG if preferred)
- `-f N`: First page to convert (e.g., `-f 2` starts from page 2)
- `-l N`: Last page to convert (e.g., `-l 5` stops at page 5)
- `slide`: Prefix for output files
Example for specific range:
```bash
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 -f 2 -l 5 template.pdf slide # Converts only pages 2-5
```
## Code Style Guidelines
**IMPORTANT**: When generating code for PPTX operations:
- Write concise code
- Avoid verbose variable names and redundant operations
- Avoid unnecessary print statements
## Dependencies
Required dependencies (should already be installed):
- **markitdown**: `pip install "markitdown[pptx]"` (for text extraction from presentations)
- **pptxgenjs**: `npm install -g pptxgenjs` (for creating presentations via html2pptx)
- **playwright**: `npm install -g playwright` (for HTML rendering in html2pptx)
- **react-icons**: `npm install -g react-icons react react-dom` (for icons)
- **sharp**: `npm install -g sharp` (for SVG rasterization and image processing)
- **LibreOffice**: `sudo apt-get install libreoffice` (for PDF conversion)
- **Poppler**: `sudo apt-get install poppler-utils` (for pdftoppm to convert PDF to images)
- **defusedxml**: `pip install defusedxml` (for secure XML parsing)

# HTML to PowerPoint Guide
Convert HTML slides to PowerPoint presentations with accurate positioning using the `html2pptx.js` library.
## Table of Contents
1. [Creating HTML Slides](#creating-html-slides)
2. [Using the html2pptx Library](#using-the-html2pptx-library)
3. [Using PptxGenJS](#using-pptxgenjs)
---
## Creating HTML Slides
Every HTML slide must include proper body dimensions:
### Layout Dimensions
- **16:9** (default): `width: 720pt; height: 405pt`
- **4:3**: `width: 720pt; height: 540pt`
- **16:10**: `width: 720pt; height: 450pt`
### Supported Elements
- `<p>`, `<h1>`-`<h6>` - Text with styling
- `<ul>`, `<ol>` - Lists (never use manual bullets •, -, *)
- `<b>`, `<strong>` - Bold text (inline formatting)
- `<i>`, `<em>` - Italic text (inline formatting)
- `<u>` - Underlined text (inline formatting)
- `<span>` - Inline formatting with CSS styles (bold, italic, underline, color)
- `<br>` - Line breaks
- `<div>` with bg/border - Becomes shape
- `<img>` - Images
- `class="placeholder"` - Reserved space for charts (returns `{ id, x, y, w, h }`)
### Critical Text Rules
**ALL text MUST be inside `<p>`, `<h1>`-`<h6>`, `<ul>`, or `<ol>` tags:**
- ✅ Correct: `<div><p>Text here</p></div>`
- ❌ Wrong: `<div>Text here</div>` - **Text will NOT appear in PowerPoint**
- ❌ Wrong: `<span>Text</span>` - **Text will NOT appear in PowerPoint**
- Text in `<div>` or `<span>` without a text tag will be silently ignored
**NEVER use manual bullet symbols (•, -, *, etc.)** - Use `<ul>` or `<ol>` lists instead
**ONLY use web-safe fonts that are universally available:**
- ✅ Web-safe fonts: `Arial`, `Helvetica`, `Times New Roman`, `Georgia`, `Courier New`, `Verdana`, `Tahoma`, `Trebuchet MS`, `Impact`, `Comic Sans MS`
- ❌ Wrong: `'Segoe UI'`, `'SF Pro'`, `'Roboto'`, custom fonts - **Might cause rendering issues**
### Styling
- Use `display: flex` on body to prevent margin collapse from breaking overflow validation
- Use `margin` for spacing (padding included in size)
- Inline formatting: Use `<b>`, `<i>`, `<u>` tags OR `<span>` with CSS styles
- `<span>` supports: `font-weight: bold`, `font-style: italic`, `text-decoration: underline`, `color: #rrggbb`
- `<span>` does NOT support: `margin`, `padding` (not supported in PowerPoint text runs)
- Example: `<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #667eea;">Bold blue text</span>`
- Flexbox works - positions calculated from rendered layout
- Use hex colors with `#` prefix in CSS
- **Text alignment**: Use CSS `text-align` (`center`, `right`, etc.) when needed as a hint to PptxGenJS for text formatting if text lengths are slightly off
### Shape Styling (DIV elements only)
**IMPORTANT: Backgrounds, borders, and shadows only work on `<div>` elements, NOT on text elements (`<p>`, `<h1>`-`<h6>`, `<ul>`, `<ol>`)**
- **Backgrounds**: CSS `background` or `background-color` on `<div>` elements only
- Example: `<div style="background: #f0f0f0;">` - Creates a shape with background
- **Borders**: CSS `border` on `<div>` elements converts to PowerPoint shape borders
- Supports uniform borders: `border: 2px solid #333333`
- Supports partial borders: `border-left`, `border-right`, `border-top`, `border-bottom` (rendered as line shapes)
- Example: `<div style="border-left: 8pt solid #E76F51;">`
- **Border radius**: CSS `border-radius` on `<div>` elements for rounded corners
- `border-radius: 50%` or higher creates circular shape
- Percentages <50% calculated relative to shape's smaller dimension
- Supports px and pt units (e.g., `border-radius: 8pt;`, `border-radius: 12px;`)
- Example: `<div style="border-radius: 25%;">` on 100x200px box = 25% of 100px = 25px radius
- **Box shadows**: CSS `box-shadow` on `<div>` elements converts to PowerPoint shadows
- Supports outer shadows only (inset shadows are ignored to prevent corruption)
- Example: `<div style="box-shadow: 2px 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);">`
- Note: Inset/inner shadows are not supported by PowerPoint and will be skipped
### Icons & Gradients
- **CRITICAL: Never use CSS gradients (`linear-gradient`, `radial-gradient`)** - They don't convert to PowerPoint
- **ALWAYS create gradient/icon PNGs FIRST using Sharp, then reference in HTML**
- For gradients: Rasterize SVG to PNG background images
- For icons: Rasterize react-icons SVG to PNG images
- All visual effects must be pre-rendered as raster images before HTML rendering
**Rasterizing Icons with Sharp:**
```javascript
const React = require('react');
const ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');
const sharp = require('sharp');
const { FaHome } = require('react-icons/fa');
async function rasterizeIconPng(IconComponent, color, size = "256", filename) {
const svgString = ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(
React.createElement(IconComponent, { color: `#${color}`, size: size })
);
// Convert SVG to PNG using Sharp
await sharp(Buffer.from(svgString))
.png()
.toFile(filename);
return filename;
}
// Usage: Rasterize icon before using in HTML
const iconPath = await rasterizeIconPng(FaHome, "4472c4", "256", "home-icon.png");
// Then reference in HTML: <img src="home-icon.png" style="width: 40pt; height: 40pt;">
```
**Rasterizing Gradients with Sharp:**
```javascript
const sharp = require('sharp');
async function createGradientBackground(filename) {
const svg = `<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1000" height="562.5">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="g" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="100%">
<stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:#COLOR1"/>
<stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:#COLOR2"/>
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="url(#g)"/>
</svg>`;
await sharp(Buffer.from(svg))
.png()
.toFile(filename);
return filename;
}
// Usage: Create gradient background before HTML
const bgPath = await createGradientBackground("gradient-bg.png");
// Then in HTML: <body style="background-image: url('gradient-bg.png');">
```
### Example
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html { background: #ffffff; }
body {
width: 720pt; height: 405pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
background: #f5f5f5; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
display: flex;
}
.content { margin: 30pt; padding: 40pt; background: #ffffff; border-radius: 8pt; }
h1 { color: #2d3748; font-size: 32pt; }
.box {
background: #70ad47; padding: 20pt; border: 3px solid #5a8f37;
border-radius: 12pt; box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">
<h1>Recipe Title</h1>
<ul>
<li><b>Item:</b> Description</li>
</ul>
<p>Text with <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>, <u>underline</u>.</p>
<div id="chart" class="placeholder" style="width: 350pt; height: 200pt;"></div>
<!-- Text MUST be in <p> tags -->
<div class="box">
<p>5</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
```
## Using the html2pptx Library
### Dependencies
These libraries have been globally installed and are available to use:
- `pptxgenjs`
- `playwright`
- `sharp`
### Basic Usage
```javascript
const pptxgen = require('pptxgenjs');
const html2pptx = require('./html2pptx');
const pptx = new pptxgen();
pptx.layout = 'LAYOUT_16x9'; // Must match HTML body dimensions
const { slide, placeholders } = await html2pptx('slide1.html', pptx);
// Add chart to placeholder area
if (placeholders.length > 0) {
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.LINE, chartData, placeholders[0]);
}
await pptx.writeFile('output.pptx');
```
### API Reference
#### Function Signature
```javascript
await html2pptx(htmlFile, pres, options)
```
#### Parameters
- `htmlFile` (string): Path to HTML file (absolute or relative)
- `pres` (pptxgen): PptxGenJS presentation instance with layout already set
- `options` (object, optional):
- `tmpDir` (string): Temporary directory for generated files (default: `process.env.TMPDIR || '/tmp'`)
- `slide` (object): Existing slide to reuse (default: creates new slide)
#### Returns
```javascript
{
slide: pptxgenSlide, // The created/updated slide
placeholders: [ // Array of placeholder positions
{ id: string, x: number, y: number, w: number, h: number },
...
]
}
```
### Validation
The library automatically validates and collects all errors before throwing:
1. **HTML dimensions must match presentation layout** - Reports dimension mismatches
2. **Content must not overflow body** - Reports overflow with exact measurements
3. **CSS gradients** - Reports unsupported gradient usage
4. **Text element styling** - Reports backgrounds/borders/shadows on text elements (only allowed on divs)
**All validation errors are collected and reported together** in a single error message, allowing you to fix all issues at once instead of one at a time.
### Working with Placeholders
```javascript
const { slide, placeholders } = await html2pptx('slide.html', pptx);
// Use first placeholder
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.BAR, data, placeholders[0]);
// Find by ID
const chartArea = placeholders.find(p => p.id === 'chart-area');
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.LINE, data, chartArea);
```
### Complete Example
```javascript
const pptxgen = require('pptxgenjs');
const html2pptx = require('./html2pptx');
async function createPresentation() {
const pptx = new pptxgen();
pptx.layout = 'LAYOUT_16x9';
pptx.author = 'Your Name';
pptx.title = 'My Presentation';
// Slide 1: Title
const { slide: slide1 } = await html2pptx('slides/title.html', pptx);
// Slide 2: Content with chart
const { slide: slide2, placeholders } = await html2pptx('slides/data.html', pptx);
const chartData = [{
name: 'Sales',
labels: ['Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4'],
values: [4500, 5500, 6200, 7100]
}];
slide2.addChart(pptx.charts.BAR, chartData, {
...placeholders[0],
showTitle: true,
title: 'Quarterly Sales',
showCatAxisTitle: true,
catAxisTitle: 'Quarter',
showValAxisTitle: true,
valAxisTitle: 'Sales ($000s)'
});
// Save
await pptx.writeFile({ fileName: 'presentation.pptx' });
console.log('Presentation created successfully!');
}
createPresentation().catch(console.error);
```
## Using PptxGenJS
After converting HTML to slides with `html2pptx`, you'll use PptxGenJS to add dynamic content like charts, images, and additional elements.
### ⚠️ Critical Rules
#### Colors
- **NEVER use `#` prefix** with hex colors in PptxGenJS - causes file corruption
- ✅ Correct: `color: "FF0000"`, `fill: { color: "0066CC" }`
- ❌ Wrong: `color: "#FF0000"` (breaks document)
### Adding Images
Always calculate aspect ratios from actual image dimensions:
```javascript
// Get image dimensions: identify image.png | grep -o '[0-9]* x [0-9]*'
const imgWidth = 1860, imgHeight = 1519; // From actual file
const aspectRatio = imgWidth / imgHeight;
const h = 3; // Max height
const w = h * aspectRatio;
const x = (10 - w) / 2; // Center on 16:9 slide
slide.addImage({ path: "chart.png", x, y: 1.5, w, h });
```
### Adding Text
```javascript
// Rich text with formatting
slide.addText([
{ text: "Bold ", options: { bold: true } },
{ text: "Italic ", options: { italic: true } },
{ text: "Normal" }
], {
x: 1, y: 2, w: 8, h: 1
});
```
### Adding Shapes
```javascript
// Rectangle
slide.addShape(pptx.shapes.RECTANGLE, {
x: 1, y: 1, w: 3, h: 2,
fill: { color: "4472C4" },
line: { color: "000000", width: 2 }
});
// Circle
slide.addShape(pptx.shapes.OVAL, {
x: 5, y: 1, w: 2, h: 2,
fill: { color: "ED7D31" }
});
// Rounded rectangle
slide.addShape(pptx.shapes.ROUNDED_RECTANGLE, {
x: 1, y: 4, w: 3, h: 1.5,
fill: { color: "70AD47" },
rectRadius: 0.2
});
```
### Adding Charts
**Required for most charts:** Axis labels using `catAxisTitle` (category) and `valAxisTitle` (value).
**Chart Data Format:**
- Use **single series with all labels** for simple bar/line charts
- Each series creates a separate legend entry
- Labels array defines X-axis values
**Time Series Data - Choose Correct Granularity:**
- **< 30 days**: Use daily grouping (e.g., "10-01", "10-02") - avoid monthly aggregation that creates single-point charts
- **30-365 days**: Use monthly grouping (e.g., "2024-01", "2024-02")
- **> 365 days**: Use yearly grouping (e.g., "2023", "2024")
- **Validate**: Charts with only 1 data point likely indicate incorrect aggregation for the time period
```javascript
const { slide, placeholders } = await html2pptx('slide.html', pptx);
// CORRECT: Single series with all labels
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.BAR, [{
name: "Sales 2024",
labels: ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"],
values: [4500, 5500, 6200, 7100]
}], {
...placeholders[0], // Use placeholder position
barDir: 'col', // 'col' = vertical bars, 'bar' = horizontal
showTitle: true,
title: 'Quarterly Sales',
showLegend: false, // No legend needed for single series
// Required axis labels
showCatAxisTitle: true,
catAxisTitle: 'Quarter',
showValAxisTitle: true,
valAxisTitle: 'Sales ($000s)',
// Optional: Control scaling (adjust min based on data range for better visualization)
valAxisMaxVal: 8000,
valAxisMinVal: 0, // Use 0 for counts/amounts; for clustered data (e.g., 4500-7100), consider starting closer to min value
valAxisMajorUnit: 2000, // Control y-axis label spacing to prevent crowding
catAxisLabelRotate: 45, // Rotate labels if crowded
dataLabelPosition: 'outEnd',
dataLabelColor: '000000',
// Use single color for single-series charts
chartColors: ["4472C4"] // All bars same color
});
```
#### Scatter Chart
**IMPORTANT**: Scatter chart data format is unusual - first series contains X-axis values, subsequent series contain Y-values:
```javascript
// Prepare data
const data1 = [{ x: 10, y: 20 }, { x: 15, y: 25 }, { x: 20, y: 30 }];
const data2 = [{ x: 12, y: 18 }, { x: 18, y: 22 }];
const allXValues = [...data1.map(d => d.x), ...data2.map(d => d.x)];
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.SCATTER, [
{ name: 'X-Axis', values: allXValues }, // First series = X values
{ name: 'Series 1', values: data1.map(d => d.y) }, // Y values only
{ name: 'Series 2', values: data2.map(d => d.y) } // Y values only
], {
x: 1, y: 1, w: 8, h: 4,
lineSize: 0, // 0 = no connecting lines
lineDataSymbol: 'circle',
lineDataSymbolSize: 6,
showCatAxisTitle: true,
catAxisTitle: 'X Axis',
showValAxisTitle: true,
valAxisTitle: 'Y Axis',
chartColors: ["4472C4", "ED7D31"]
});
```
#### Line Chart
```javascript
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.LINE, [{
name: "Temperature",
labels: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr"],
values: [32, 35, 42, 55]
}], {
x: 1, y: 1, w: 8, h: 4,
lineSize: 4,
lineSmooth: true,
// Required axis labels
showCatAxisTitle: true,
catAxisTitle: 'Month',
showValAxisTitle: true,
valAxisTitle: 'Temperature (°F)',
// Optional: Y-axis range (set min based on data range for better visualization)
valAxisMinVal: 0, // For ranges starting at 0 (counts, percentages, etc.)
valAxisMaxVal: 60,
valAxisMajorUnit: 20, // Control y-axis label spacing to prevent crowding (e.g., 10, 20, 25)
// valAxisMinVal: 30, // PREFERRED: For data clustered in a range (e.g., 32-55 or ratings 3-5), start axis closer to min value to show variation
// Optional: Chart colors
chartColors: ["4472C4", "ED7D31", "A5A5A5"]
});
```
#### Pie Chart (No Axis Labels Required)
**CRITICAL**: Pie charts require a **single data series** with all categories in the `labels` array and corresponding values in the `values` array.
```javascript
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.PIE, [{
name: "Market Share",
labels: ["Product A", "Product B", "Other"], // All categories in one array
values: [35, 45, 20] // All values in one array
}], {
x: 2, y: 1, w: 6, h: 4,
showPercent: true,
showLegend: true,
legendPos: 'r', // right
chartColors: ["4472C4", "ED7D31", "A5A5A5"]
});
```
#### Multiple Data Series
```javascript
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.LINE, [
{
name: "Product A",
labels: ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"],
values: [10, 20, 30, 40]
},
{
name: "Product B",
labels: ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"],
values: [15, 25, 20, 35]
}
], {
x: 1, y: 1, w: 8, h: 4,
showCatAxisTitle: true,
catAxisTitle: 'Quarter',
showValAxisTitle: true,
valAxisTitle: 'Revenue ($M)'
});
```
### Chart Colors
**CRITICAL**: Use hex colors **without** the `#` prefix - including `#` causes file corruption.
**Align chart colors with your chosen design palette**, ensuring sufficient contrast and distinctiveness for data visualization. Adjust colors for:
- Strong contrast between adjacent series
- Readability against slide backgrounds
- Accessibility (avoid red-green only combinations)
```javascript
// Example: Ocean palette-inspired chart colors (adjusted for contrast)
const chartColors = ["16A085", "FF6B9D", "2C3E50", "F39C12", "9B59B6"];
// Single-series chart: Use one color for all bars/points
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.BAR, [{
name: "Sales",
labels: ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3", "Q4"],
values: [4500, 5500, 6200, 7100]
}], {
...placeholders[0],
chartColors: ["16A085"], // All bars same color
showLegend: false
});
// Multi-series chart: Each series gets a different color
slide.addChart(pptx.charts.LINE, [
{ name: "Product A", labels: ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3"], values: [10, 20, 30] },
{ name: "Product B", labels: ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3"], values: [15, 25, 20] }
], {
...placeholders[0],
chartColors: ["16A085", "FF6B9D"] // One color per series
});
```
### Adding Tables
Tables can be added with basic or advanced formatting:
#### Basic Table
```javascript
slide.addTable([
["Header 1", "Header 2", "Header 3"],
["Row 1, Col 1", "Row 1, Col 2", "Row 1, Col 3"],
["Row 2, Col 1", "Row 2, Col 2", "Row 2, Col 3"]
], {
x: 0.5,
y: 1,
w: 9,
h: 3,
border: { pt: 1, color: "999999" },
fill: { color: "F1F1F1" }
});
```
#### Table with Custom Formatting
```javascript
const tableData = [
// Header row with custom styling
[
{ text: "Product", options: { fill: { color: "4472C4" }, color: "FFFFFF", bold: true } },
{ text: "Revenue", options: { fill: { color: "4472C4" }, color: "FFFFFF", bold: true } },
{ text: "Growth", options: { fill: { color: "4472C4" }, color: "FFFFFF", bold: true } }
],
// Data rows
["Product A", "$50M", "+15%"],
["Product B", "$35M", "+22%"],
["Product C", "$28M", "+8%"]
];
slide.addTable(tableData, {
x: 1,
y: 1.5,
w: 8,
h: 3,
colW: [3, 2.5, 2.5], // Column widths
rowH: [0.5, 0.6, 0.6, 0.6], // Row heights
border: { pt: 1, color: "CCCCCC" },
align: "center",
valign: "middle",
fontSize: 14
});
```
#### Table with Merged Cells
```javascript
const mergedTableData = [
[
{ text: "Q1 Results", options: { colspan: 3, fill: { color: "4472C4" }, color: "FFFFFF", bold: true } }
],
["Product", "Sales", "Market Share"],
["Product A", "$25M", "35%"],
["Product B", "$18M", "25%"]
];
slide.addTable(mergedTableData, {
x: 1,
y: 1,
w: 8,
h: 2.5,
colW: [3, 2.5, 2.5],
border: { pt: 1, color: "DDDDDD" }
});
```
### Table Options
Common table options:
- `x, y, w, h` - Position and size
- `colW` - Array of column widths (in inches)
- `rowH` - Array of row heights (in inches)
- `border` - Border style: `{ pt: 1, color: "999999" }`
- `fill` - Background color (no # prefix)
- `align` - Text alignment: "left", "center", "right"
- `valign` - Vertical alignment: "top", "middle", "bottom"
- `fontSize` - Text size
- `autoPage` - Auto-create new slides if content overflows

# Office Open XML Technical Reference for PowerPoint
**Important: Read this entire document before starting.** Critical XML schema rules and formatting requirements are covered throughout. Incorrect implementation can create invalid PPTX files that PowerPoint cannot open.
## Technical Guidelines
### Schema Compliance
- **Element ordering in `<p:txBody>`**: `<a:bodyPr>`, `<a:lstStyle>`, `<a:p>`
- **Whitespace**: Add `xml:space='preserve'` to `<a:t>` elements with leading/trailing spaces
- **Unicode**: Escape characters in ASCII content: `"` becomes `&#8220;`
- **Images**: Add to `ppt/media/`, reference in slide XML, set dimensions to fit slide bounds
- **Relationships**: Update `ppt/slides/_rels/slideN.xml.rels` for each slide's resources
- **Dirty attribute**: Add `dirty="0"` to `<a:rPr>` and `<a:endParaRPr>` elements to indicate clean state

```
## File Updates
When adding content, update these files:
**`ppt/_rels/presentation.xml.rels`:**
```xml
<Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/slide" Target="slides/slide1.xml"/>
<Relationship Id="rId2" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/slideMaster" Target="slideMasters/slideMaster1.xml"/>
```
**`ppt/slides/_rels/slide1.xml.rels`:**
```xml
<Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/slideLayout" Target="../slideLayouts/slideLayout1.xml"/>
<Relationship Id="rId2" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="../media/image1.png"/>
```
**`[Content_Types].xml`:**
```xml
<Default Extension="png" ContentType="image/png"/>
<Default Extension="jpg" ContentType="image/jpeg"/>
<Override PartName="/ppt/slides/slide1.xml" ContentType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slide+xml"/>
```
**`ppt/presentation.xml`:**
```xml
<p:sldIdLst>
<p:sldId id="256" r:id="rId1"/>
<p:sldId id="257" r:id="rId2"/>
</p:sldIdLst>
```
**`docProps/app.xml`:** Update slide count and statistics
```xml
<Slides>2</Slides>
<Paragraphs>10</Paragraphs>
<Words>50</Words>
```
## Slide Operations
### Adding a New Slide
When adding a slide to the end of the presentation:
1. **Create the slide file** (`ppt/slides/slideN.xml`)
2. **Update `[Content_Types].xml`**: Add Override for the new slide
3. **Update `ppt/_rels/presentation.xml.rels`**: Add relationship for the new slide
4. **Update `ppt/presentation.xml`**: Add slide ID to `<p:sldIdLst>`
5. **Create slide relationships** (`ppt/slides/_rels/slideN.xml.rels`) if needed
6. **Update `docProps/app.xml`**: Increment slide count and update statistics (if present)
### Duplicating a Slide
1. Copy the source slide XML file with a new name
2. Update all IDs in the new slide to be unique
3. Follow the "Adding a New Slide" steps above
4. **CRITICAL**: Remove or update any notes slide references in `_rels` files
5. Remove references to unused media files
### Reordering Slides
1. **Update `ppt/presentation.xml`**: Reorder `<p:sldId>` elements in `<p:sldIdLst>`
2. The order of `<p:sldId>` elements determines slide order
3. Keep slide IDs and relationship IDs unchanged
Example:
```xml
<!-- Original order -->
<p:sldIdLst>
<p:sldId id="256" r:id="rId2"/>
<p:sldId id="257" r:id="rId3"/>
<p:sldId id="258" r:id="rId4"/>
</p:sldIdLst>
<!-- After moving slide 3 to position 2 -->
<p:sldIdLst>
<p:sldId id="256" r:id="rId2"/>
<p:sldId id="258" r:id="rId4"/>
<p:sldId id="257" r:id="rId3"/>
</p:sldIdLst>
```
### Deleting a Slide
1. **Remove from `ppt/presentation.xml`**: Delete the `<p:sldId>` entry
2. **Remove from `ppt/_rels/presentation.xml.rels`**: Delete the relationship
3. **Remove from `[Content_Types].xml`**: Delete the Override entry
4. **Delete files**: Remove `ppt/slides/slideN.xml` and `ppt/slides/_rels/slideN.xml.rels`
5. **Update `docProps/app.xml`**: Decrement slide count and update statistics
6. **Clean up unused media**: Remove orphaned images from `ppt/media/`
Note: Don't renumber remaining slides - keep their original IDs and filenames.
## Common Errors to Avoid
- **Encodings**: Escape unicode characters in ASCII content: `"` becomes `&#8220;`
- **Images**: Add to `ppt/media/` and update relationship files
- **Lists**: Omit bullets from list headers
- **IDs**: Use valid hexadecimal values for UUIDs
- **Themes**: Check all themes in `theme` directory for colors
## Validation Checklist for Template-Based Presentations
### Before Packing, Always:
- **Clean unused resources**: Remove unreferenced media, fonts, and notes directories
- **Fix Content_Types.xml**: Declare ALL slides, layouts, and themes present in the package
- **Fix relationship IDs**:
- Remove font embed references if not using embedded fonts
- **Remove broken references**: Check all `_rels` files for references to deleted resources
### Common Template Duplication Pitfalls:
- Multiple slides referencing the same notes slide after duplication
- Image/media references from template slides that no longer exist
- Font embedding references when fonts aren't included
- Missing slideLayout declarations for layouts 12-25
- docProps directory may not unpack - this is optional

* USAGE:
* const pptx = new pptxgen();
* pptx.layout = 'LAYOUT_16x9'; // Must match HTML body dimensions
*
* const { slide, placeholders } = await html2pptx('slide.html', pptx);
* slide.addChart(pptx.charts.LINE, data, placeholders[0]);

* FEATURES:
* - Converts HTML to PowerPoint with accurate positioning
* - Supports text, images, shapes, and bullet lists
* - Extracts placeholder elements (class="placeholder") with positions
* - Handles CSS gradients, borders, and margins
*
* VALIDATION:
* - Uses body width/height from HTML for viewport sizing
* - Throws error if HTML dimensions don't match presentation layout
* - Throws error if content overflows body (with overflow details)
*
* RETURNS:
* { slide, placeholders } where placeholders is an array of { id, x, y, w, h }

"""
Create thumbnail grids from PowerPoint presentation slides.
Creates a grid layout of slide thumbnails with configurable columns (max 6).
Each grid contains up to cols×(cols+1) images. For presentations with more
slides, multiple numbered grid files are created automatically.
The program outputs the names of all files created.
Output:
- Single grid: {prefix}.jpg (if slides fit in one grid)
- Multiple grids: {prefix}-1.jpg, {prefix}-2.jpg, etc.
Grid limits by column count:
- 3 cols: max 12 slides per grid (3×4)
- 4 cols: max 20 slides per grid (4×5)
- 5 cols: max 30 slides per grid (5×6) [default]
- 6 cols: max 42 slides per grid (6×7)
Usage:
python thumbnail.py input.pptx [output_prefix] [--cols N] [--outline-placeholders]
Examples:
python thumbnail.py presentation.pptx
# Creates: thumbnails.jpg (using default prefix)
# Outputs:
# Created 1 grid(s):
# - thumbnails.jpg
python thumbnail.py large-deck.pptx grid --cols 4
# Creates: grid-1.jpg, grid-2.jpg, grid-3.jpg
# Outputs:
# Created 3 grid(s):
# - grid-1.jpg
# - grid-2.jpg
# - grid-3.jpg

# DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
## Overview
A .docx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files.
## Quick Reference
| Task | Approach |
|------|----------|
| Read/analyze content | `pandoc` or unpack for raw XML |
| Create new document | Use `docx-js` - see Creating New Documents below |
| Edit existing document | Unpack → edit XML → repack - see Editing Existing Documents below |
### Converting .doc to .docx
Legacy `.doc` files must be converted before editing:
```bash
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to docx document.doc
```
### Reading Content
```bash
# Text extraction with tracked changes
pandoc --track-changes=all document.docx -o output.md
# Raw XML access
python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
```
### Converting to Images
```bash
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf document.docx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 document.pdf page
```
### Accepting Tracked Changes
To produce a clean document with all tracked changes accepted (requires LibreOffice):
```bash
python scripts/accept_changes.py input.docx output.docx
```
---
## Creating New Documents
Generate .docx files with JavaScript, then validate. Install: `npm install -g docx`
### Setup
```javascript
const { Document, Packer, Paragraph, TextRun, Table, TableRow, TableCell, ImageRun,
Header, Footer, AlignmentType, PageOrientation, LevelFormat, ExternalHyperlink,
InternalHyperlink, Bookmark, FootnoteReferenceRun, PositionalTab,
PositionalTabAlignment, PositionalTabRelativeTo, PositionalTabLeader,
TabStopType, TabStopPosition, Column, SectionType,
TableOfContents, HeadingLevel, BorderStyle, WidthType, ShadingType,
VerticalAlign, PageNumber, PageBreak } = require('docx');
const doc = new Document({ sections: [{ children: [/* content */] }] });
Packer.toBuffer(doc).then(buffer => fs.writeFileSync("doc.docx", buffer));
```
### Validation
After creating the file, validate it. If validation fails, unpack, fix the XML, and repack.
```bash
python scripts/office/validate.py doc.docx
```
### Page Size
```javascript
// CRITICAL: docx-js defaults to A4, not US Letter
// Always set page size explicitly for consistent results
sections: [{
properties: {
page: {
size: {
width: 12240, // 8.5 inches in DXA
height: 15840 // 11 inches in DXA
},
margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } // 1 inch margins
}
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
```
**Common page sizes (DXA units, 1440 DXA = 1 inch):**
| Paper | Width | Height | Content Width (1" margins) |
|-------|-------|--------|---------------------------|
| US Letter | 12,240 | 15,840 | 9,360 |
| A4 (default) | 11,906 | 16,838 | 9,026 |
**Landscape orientation:** docx-js swaps width/height internally, so pass portrait dimensions and let it handle the swap:
```javascript
size: {
width: 12240, // Pass SHORT edge as width
height: 15840, // Pass LONG edge as height
orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE // docx-js swaps them in the XML
},
// Content width = 15840 - left margin - right margin (uses the long edge)
```
### Styles (Override Built-in Headings)
Use Arial as the default font (universally supported). Keep titles black for readability.
```javascript
const doc = new Document({
styles: {
default: { document: { run: { font: "Arial", size: 24 } } }, // 12pt default
paragraphStyles: [
// IMPORTANT: Use exact IDs to override built-in styles
{ id: "Heading1", name: "Heading 1", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
run: { size: 32, bold: true, font: "Arial" },
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 240, after: 240 }, outlineLevel: 0 } }, // outlineLevel required for TOC
{ id: "Heading2", name: "Heading 2", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
run: { size: 28, bold: true, font: "Arial" },
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 180, after: 180 }, outlineLevel: 1 } },
]
},
sections: [{
children: [
new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [new TextRun("Title")] }),
]
}]
});
```
### Lists (NEVER use unicode bullets)
```javascript
// ❌ WRONG - never manually insert bullet characters
new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("• Item")] }) // BAD
new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("\u2022 Item")] }) // BAD
// ✅ CORRECT - use numbering config with LevelFormat.BULLET
const doc = new Document({
numbering: {
config: [
{ reference: "bullets",
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.BULLET, text: "•", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
{ reference: "numbers",
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.DECIMAL, text: "%1.", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
]
},
sections: [{
children: [
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "bullets", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Bullet item")] }),
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "numbers", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Numbered item")] }),
]
}]
});
// ⚠️ Each reference creates INDEPENDENT numbering
// Same reference = continues (1,2,3 then 4,5,6)
// Different reference = restarts (1,2,3 then 1,2,3)
```
### Tables
**CRITICAL: Tables need dual widths** - set both `columnWidths` on the table AND `width` on each cell. Without both, tables render incorrectly on some platforms.
```javascript
// CRITICAL: Always set table width for consistent rendering
// CRITICAL: Use ShadingType.CLEAR (not SOLID) to prevent black backgrounds
const border = { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 1, color: "CCCCCC" };
const borders = { top: border, bottom: border, left: border, right: border };
new Table({
width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA }, // Always use DXA (percentages break in Google Docs)
columnWidths: [4680, 4680], // Must sum to table width (DXA: 1440 = 1 inch)
rows: [
new TableRow({
children: [
new TableCell({
borders,
width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // Also set on each cell
shading: { fill: "D5E8F0", type: ShadingType.CLEAR }, // CLEAR not SOLID
margins: { top: 80, bottom: 80, left: 120, right: 120 }, // Cell padding (internal, not added to width)
children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Cell")] })]
})
]
})
]
})
```
**Table width calculation:**
Always use `WidthType.DXA``WidthType.PERCENTAGE` breaks in Google Docs.
```javascript
// Table width = sum of columnWidths = content width
// US Letter with 1" margins: 12240 - 2880 = 9360 DXA
width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA },
columnWidths: [7000, 2360] // Must sum to table width
```
**Width rules:**
- **Always use `WidthType.DXA`** — never `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` (incompatible with Google Docs)
- Table width must equal the sum of `columnWidths`
- Cell `width` must match corresponding `columnWidth`
- Cell `margins` are internal padding - they reduce content area, not add to cell width
- For full-width tables: use content width (page width minus left and right margins)
### Images
```javascript
// CRITICAL: type parameter is REQUIRED
new Paragraph({
children: [new ImageRun({
type: "png", // Required: png, jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, svg
data: fs.readFileSync("image.png"),
transformation: { width: 200, height: 150 },
altText: { title: "Title", description: "Desc", name: "Name" } // All three required
})]
})
```
### Page Breaks
```javascript
// CRITICAL: PageBreak must be inside a Paragraph
new Paragraph({ children: [new PageBreak()] })
// Or use pageBreakBefore
new Paragraph({ pageBreakBefore: true, children: [new TextRun("New page")] })
```
### Hyperlinks
```javascript
// External link
new Paragraph({
children: [new ExternalHyperlink({
children: [new TextRun({ text: "Click here", style: "Hyperlink" })],
link: "https://example.com",
})]
})
// Internal link (bookmark + reference)
// 1. Create bookmark at destination
new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [
new Bookmark({ id: "chapter1", children: [new TextRun("Chapter 1")] }),
]})
// 2. Link to it
new Paragraph({ children: [new InternalHyperlink({
children: [new TextRun({ text: "See Chapter 1", style: "Hyperlink" })],
anchor: "chapter1",
})]})
```
### Footnotes
```javascript
const doc = new Document({
footnotes: {
1: { children: [new Paragraph("Source: Annual Report 2024")] },
2: { children: [new Paragraph("See appendix for methodology")] },
},
sections: [{
children: [new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("Revenue grew 15%"),
new FootnoteReferenceRun(1),
new TextRun(" using adjusted metrics"),
new FootnoteReferenceRun(2),
],
})]
}]
});
```
### Tab Stops
```javascript
// Right-align text on same line (e.g., date opposite a title)
new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("Company Name"),
new TextRun("\tJanuary 2025"),
],
tabStops: [{ type: TabStopType.RIGHT, position: TabStopPosition.MAX }],
})
// Dot leader (e.g., TOC-style)
new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("Introduction"),
new TextRun({ children: [
new PositionalTab({
alignment: PositionalTabAlignment.RIGHT,
relativeTo: PositionalTabRelativeTo.MARGIN,
leader: PositionalTabLeader.DOT,
}),
"3",
]}),
],
})
```
### Multi-Column Layouts
```javascript
// Equal-width columns
sections: [{
properties: {
column: {
count: 2, // number of columns
space: 720, // gap between columns in DXA (720 = 0.5 inch)
equalWidth: true,
separate: true, // vertical line between columns
},
},
children: [/* content flows naturally across columns */]
}]
// Custom-width columns (equalWidth must be false)
sections: [{
properties: {
column: {
equalWidth: false,
children: [
new Column({ width: 5400, space: 720 }),
new Column({ width: 3240 }),
],
},
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
```
Force a column break with a new section using `type: SectionType.NEXT_COLUMN`.
### Table of Contents
```javascript
// CRITICAL: Headings must use HeadingLevel ONLY - no custom styles
new TableOfContents("Table of Contents", { hyperlink: true, headingStyleRange: "1-3" })
```
### Headers/Footers
```javascript
sections: [{
properties: {
page: { margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } } // 1440 = 1 inch
},
headers: {
default: new Header({ children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Header")] })] })
},
footers: {
default: new Footer({ children: [new Paragraph({
children: [new TextRun("Page "), new TextRun({ children: [PageNumber.CURRENT] })]
})] })
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
```
### Critical Rules for docx-js
- **Set page size explicitly** - docx-js defaults to A4; use US Letter (12240 x 15840 DXA) for US documents
- **Landscape: pass portrait dimensions** - docx-js swaps width/height internally; pass short edge as `width`, long edge as `height`, and set `orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE`
- **Never use `\n`** - use separate Paragraph elements
- **Never use unicode bullets** - use `LevelFormat.BULLET` with numbering config
- **PageBreak must be in Paragraph** - standalone creates invalid XML
- **ImageRun requires `type`** - always specify png/jpg/etc
- **Always set table `width` with DXA** - never use `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` (breaks in Google Docs)
- **Tables need dual widths** - `columnWidths` array AND cell `width`, both must match
- **Table width = sum of columnWidths** - for DXA, ensure they add up exactly
- **Always add cell margins** - use `margins: { top: 80, bottom: 80, left: 120, right: 120 }` for readable padding
- **Use `ShadingType.CLEAR`** - never SOLID for table shading
- **Never use tables as dividers/rules** - cells have minimum height and render as empty boxes (including in headers/footers); use `border: { bottom: { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 6, color: "2E75B6", space: 1 } }` on a Paragraph instead. For two-column footers, use tab stops (see Tab Stops section), not tables
- **TOC requires HeadingLevel only** - no custom styles on heading paragraphs
- **Override built-in styles** - use exact IDs: "Heading1", "Heading2", etc.
- **Include `outlineLevel`** - required for TOC (0 for H1, 1 for H2, etc.)
---
## Editing Existing Documents
**Follow all 3 steps in order.**
### Step 1: Unpack
```bash
python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
```
Extracts XML, pretty-prints, merges adjacent runs, and converts smart quotes to XML entities (`&#x201C;` etc.) so they survive editing. Use `--merge-runs false` to skip run merging.
### Step 2: Edit XML
Edit files in `unpacked/word/`. See XML Reference below for patterns.
**Use "Claude" as the author** for tracked changes and comments, unless the user explicitly requests use of a different name.
**Use the Edit tool directly for string replacement. Do not write Python scripts.** Scripts introduce unnecessary complexity. The Edit tool shows exactly what is being replaced.
**CRITICAL: Use smart quotes for new content.** When adding text with apostrophes or quotes, use XML entities to produce smart quotes:
```xml
<!-- Use these entities for professional typography -->
<w:t>Here&#x2019;s a quote: &#x201C;Hello&#x201D;</w:t>
```
| Entity | Character |
|--------|-----------|
| `&#x2018;` | (left single) |
| `&#x2019;` | (right single / apostrophe) |
| `&#x201C;` | “ (left double) |
| `&#x201D;` | ” (right double) |
**Adding comments:** Use `comment.py` to handle boilerplate across multiple XML files (text must be pre-escaped XML):
```bash
python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 0 "Comment text with &amp; and &#x2019;"
python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 1 "Reply text" --parent 0 # reply to comment 0
python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 0 "Text" --author "Custom Author" # custom author name
```
Then add markers to document.xml (see Comments in XML Reference).
### Step 3: Pack
```bash
python scripts/office/pack.py unpacked/ output.docx --original document.docx
```
Validates with auto-repair, condenses XML, and creates DOCX. Use `--validate false` to skip.
**Auto-repair will fix:**
- `durableId` >= 0x7FFFFFFF (regenerates valid ID)
- Missing `xml:space="preserve"` on `<w:t>` with whitespace
**Auto-repair won't fix:**
- Malformed XML, invalid element nesting, missing relationships, schema violations
### Common Pitfalls
- **Replace entire `<w:r>` elements**: When adding tracked changes, replace the whole `<w:r>...</w:r>` block with `<w:del>...<w:ins>...` as siblings. Don't inject tracked change tags inside a run.
- **Preserve `<w:rPr>` formatting**: Copy the original run's `<w:rPr>` block into your tracked change runs to maintain bold, font size, etc.
---
## XML Reference
### Schema Compliance
- **Element order in `<w:pPr>`**: `<w:pStyle>`, `<w:numPr>`, `<w:spacing>`, `<w:ind>`, `<w:jc>`, `<w:rPr>` last
- **Whitespace**: Add `xml:space="preserve"` to `<w:t>` with leading/trailing spaces
- **RSIDs**: Must be 8-digit hex (e.g., `00AB1234`)
### Tracked Changes
**Insertion:**
```xml
<w:ins w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:t>inserted text</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
```
**Deletion:**
```xml
<w:del w:id="2" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:delText>deleted text</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
```
**Inside `<w:del>`**: Use `<w:delText>` instead of `<w:t>`, and `<w:delInstrText>` instead of `<w:instrText>`.
**Minimal edits** - only mark what changes:
```xml
<!-- Change "30 days" to "60 days" -->
<w:r><w:t>The term is </w:t></w:r>
<w:del w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="...">
<w:r><w:delText>30</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
<w:ins w:id="2" w:author="Claude" w:date="...">
<w:r><w:t>60</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
<w:r><w:t> days.</w:t></w:r>
```
**Deleting entire paragraphs/list items** - when removing ALL content from a paragraph, also mark the paragraph mark as deleted so it merges with the next paragraph. Add `<w:del/>` inside `<w:pPr><w:rPr>`:
```xml
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:numPr>...</w:numPr> <!-- list numbering if present -->
<w:rPr>
<w:del w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"/>
</w:rPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:del w:id="2" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:delText>Entire paragraph content being deleted...</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
</w:p>
```
Without the `<w:del/>` in `<w:pPr><w:rPr>`, accepting changes leaves an empty paragraph/list item.
**Rejecting another author's insertion** - nest deletion inside their insertion:
```xml
<w:ins w:author="Jane" w:id="5">
<w:del w:author="Claude" w:id="10">
<w:r><w:delText>their inserted text</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
</w:ins>
```
**Restoring another author's deletion** - add insertion after (don't modify their deletion):
```xml
<w:del w:author="Jane" w:id="5">
<w:r><w:delText>deleted text</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
<w:ins w:author="Claude" w:id="10">
<w:r><w:t>deleted text</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
```
### Comments
After running `comment.py` (see Step 2), add markers to document.xml. For replies, use `--parent` flag and nest markers inside the parent's.
**CRITICAL: `<w:commentRangeStart>` and `<w:commentRangeEnd>` are siblings of `<w:r>`, never inside `<w:r>`.**
```xml
<!-- Comment markers are direct children of w:p, never inside w:r -->

### Images
1. Add image file to `word/media/`
2. Add relationship to `word/_rels/document.xml.rels`:
```xml
<Relationship Id="rId5" Type=".../image" Target="media/image1.png"/>
```
3. Add content type to `[Content_Types].xml`:
```xml
<Default Extension="png" ContentType="image/png"/>
```
4. Reference in document.xml:
```xml
<w:drawing>
<wp:inline>
<wp:extent cx="914400" cy="914400"/> <!-- EMUs: 914400 = 1 inch -->
<a:graphic>
<a:graphicData uri=".../picture">

## Overview
Extract text/tables, create PDFs, merge/split files, fill forms using Python libraries and command-line tools. Apply this skill for programmatic document processing and analysis. For advanced features or form filling, consult reference.md and forms.md.
## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics
**When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.**
If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
- Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic
**For new documents:** Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.
**How to generate schematics:**
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
```
The AI will automatically:
- Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
- Review and refine through multiple iterations
- Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
- Save outputs in the figures/ directory
**When to add schematics:**
- PDF processing workflow diagrams
- Document manipulation flowcharts
- Form processing visualizations
- Data extraction pipeline diagrams
- Any complex concept that benefits from visualization
For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.

#### Subscripts and Superscripts
**IMPORTANT**: Never use Unicode subscript/superscript characters (₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉, ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹) in ReportLab PDFs. The built-in fonts do not include these glyphs, causing them to render as solid black boxes.
Instead, use ReportLab's XML markup tags in Paragraph objects:
```python
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
# Subscripts: use <sub> tag
chemical = Paragraph("H<sub>2</sub>O", styles['Normal'])
# Superscripts: use <super> tag
squared = Paragraph("x<super>2</super> + y<super>2</super>", styles['Normal'])

**CRITICAL: You MUST complete these steps in order. Do not skip ahead to writing code.**
If you need to fill out a PDF form, first check to see if the PDF has fillable form fields. Run this script from this file's directory:
`python scripts/check_fillable_fields <file.pdf>`, and depending on the result go to either the "Fillable fields" or "Non-fillable fields" and follow those instructions.
# Fillable fields
If the PDF has fillable form fields:
- Run this script from this file's directory: `python scripts/extract_form_field_info.py <input.pdf> <field_info.json>`. It will create a JSON file with a list of fields in this format:
```
[
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"rect": ([left, bottom, right, top] bounding box in PDF coordinates, y=0 is the bottom of the page),
"type": ("text", "checkbox", "radio_group", or "choice"),
},
// Checkboxes have "checked_value" and "unchecked_value" properties:
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "checkbox",
"checked_value": (Set the field to this value to check the checkbox),
"unchecked_value": (Set the field to this value to uncheck the checkbox),
},
// Radio groups have a "radio_options" list with the possible choices.
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "radio_group",
"radio_options": [
{
"value": (set the field to this value to select this radio option),
"rect": (bounding box for the radio button for this option)
},
// Other radio options
]
},
// Multiple choice fields have a "choice_options" list with the possible choices:
{
"field_id": (unique ID for the field),
"page": (page number, 1-based),
"type": "choice",
"choice_options": [
{
"value": (set the field to this value to select this option),
"text": (display text of the option)
},
// Other choice options
],
}
]
```
- Convert the PDF to PNGs (one image for each page) with this script (run from this file's directory):
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <file.pdf> <output_directory>`
Then analyze the images to determine the purpose of each form field (make sure to convert the bounding box PDF coordinates to image coordinates).
- Create a `field_values.json` file in this format with the values to be entered for each field:
```
[
{
"field_id": "last_name", // Must match the field_id from `extract_form_field_info.py`
"description": "The user's last name",
"page": 1, // Must match the "page" value in field_info.json
"value": "Simpson"
},
{
"field_id": "Checkbox12",
"description": "Checkbox to be checked if the user is 18 or over",
"page": 1,
"value": "/On" // If this is a checkbox, use its "checked_value" value to check it. If it's a radio button group, use one of the "value" values in "radio_options".
},
// more fields
]
```
- Run the `fill_fillable_fields.py` script from this file's directory to create a filled-in PDF:
`python scripts/fill_fillable_fields.py <input pdf> <field_values.json> <output pdf>`
This script will verify that the field IDs and values you provide are valid; if it prints error messages, correct the appropriate fields and try again.
# Non-fillable fields
If the PDF doesn't have fillable form fields, you'll add text annotations. First try to extract coordinates from the PDF structure (more accurate), then fall back to visual estimation if needed.
## Step 1: Try Structure Extraction First
Run this script to extract text labels, lines, and checkboxes with their exact PDF coordinates:
`python scripts/extract_form_structure.py <input.pdf> form_structure.json`
This creates a JSON file containing:
- **labels**: Every text element with exact coordinates (x0, top, x1, bottom in PDF points)
- **lines**: Horizontal lines that define row boundaries
- **checkboxes**: Small square rectangles that are checkboxes (with center coordinates)
- **row_boundaries**: Row top/bottom positions calculated from horizontal lines
**Check the results**: If `form_structure.json` has meaningful labels (text elements that correspond to form fields), use **Approach A: Structure-Based Coordinates**. If the PDF is scanned/image-based and has few or no labels, use **Approach B: Visual Estimation**.
---
## Approach A: Structure-Based Coordinates (Preferred)
Use this when `extract_form_structure.py` found text labels in the PDF.
### A.1: Analyze the Structure
Read form_structure.json and identify:
1. **Label groups**: Adjacent text elements that form a single label (e.g., "Last" + "Name")
2. **Row structure**: Labels with similar `top` values are in the same row
3. **Field columns**: Entry areas start after label ends (x0 = label.x1 + gap)
4. **Checkboxes**: Use the checkbox coordinates directly from the structure
**Coordinate system**: PDF coordinates where y=0 is at TOP of page, y increases downward.
### A.2: Check for Missing Elements
The structure extraction may not detect all form elements. Common cases:
- **Circular checkboxes**: Only square rectangles are detected as checkboxes
- **Complex graphics**: Decorative elements or non-standard form controls
- **Faded or light-colored elements**: May not be extracted
If you see form fields in the PDF images that aren't in form_structure.json, you'll need to use **visual analysis** for those specific fields (see "Hybrid Approach" below).
### A.3: Create fields.json with PDF Coordinates
For each field, calculate entry coordinates from the extracted structure:
**Text fields:**
- entry x0 = label x1 + 5 (small gap after label)
- entry x1 = next label's x0, or row boundary
- entry top = same as label top
- entry bottom = row boundary line below, or label bottom + row_height
**Checkboxes:**
- Use the checkbox rectangle coordinates directly from form_structure.json
- entry_bounding_box = [checkbox.x0, checkbox.top, checkbox.x1, checkbox.bottom]
Create fields.json using `pdf_width` and `pdf_height` (signals PDF coordinates):
```json
{
"pages": [
{"page_number": 1, "pdf_width": 612, "pdf_height": 792}
],
"form_fields": [
{
"page_number": 1,
"description": "Last name entry field",
"field_label": "Last Name",
"label_bounding_box": [43, 63, 87, 73],
"entry_bounding_box": [92, 63, 260, 79],
"entry_text": {"text": "Smith", "font_size": 10}
},
{
"page_number": 1,
"description": "US Citizen Yes checkbox",
"field_label": "Yes",
"label_bounding_box": [260, 200, 280, 210],
"entry_bounding_box": [285, 197, 292, 205],
"entry_text": {"text": "X"}
}
]
}
```
**Important**: Use `pdf_width`/`pdf_height` and coordinates directly from form_structure.json.
### A.4: Validate Bounding Boxes
Before filling, check your bounding boxes for errors:
`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py fields.json`
This checks for intersecting bounding boxes and entry boxes that are too small for the font size. Fix any reported errors before filling.
---
## Approach B: Visual Estimation (Fallback)
Use this when the PDF is scanned/image-based and structure extraction found no usable text labels (e.g., all text shows as "(cid:X)" patterns).
### B.1: Convert PDF to Images
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <input.pdf> <images_dir/>`
### B.2: Initial Field Identification
Examine each page image to identify form sections and get **rough estimates** of field locations:
- Form field labels and their approximate positions
- Entry areas (lines, boxes, or blank spaces for text input)
- Checkboxes and their approximate locations
For each field, note approximate pixel coordinates (they don't need to be precise yet).
### B.3: Zoom Refinement (CRITICAL for accuracy)
For each field, crop a region around the estimated position to refine coordinates precisely.
**Create a zoomed crop using ImageMagick:**
```bash
magick <page_image> -crop <width>x<height>+<x>+<y> +repage <crop_output.png>
```
Where:
- `<x>, <y>` = top-left corner of crop region (use your rough estimate minus padding)
- `<width>, <height>` = size of crop region (field area plus ~50px padding on each side)
**Example:** To refine a "Name" field estimated around (100, 150):
```bash
magick images_dir/page_1.png -crop 300x80+50+120 +repage crops/name_field.png
```
(Note: if the `magick` command isn't available, try `convert` with the same arguments).
**Examine the cropped image** to determine precise coordinates:
1. Identify the exact pixel where the entry area begins (after the label)
2. Identify where the entry area ends (before next field or edge)
3. Identify the top and bottom of the entry line/box
**Convert crop coordinates back to full image coordinates:**
- full_x = crop_x + crop_offset_x
- full_y = crop_y + crop_offset_y
Example: If the crop started at (50, 120) and the entry box starts at (52, 18) within the crop:
- entry_x0 = 52 + 50 = 102
- entry_top = 18 + 120 = 138
**Repeat for each field**, grouping nearby fields into single crops when possible.
### B.4: Create fields.json with Refined Coordinates
Create fields.json using `image_width` and `image_height` (signals image coordinates):
```json
{
"pages": [
{"page_number": 1, "image_width": 1700, "image_height": 2200}
],
"form_fields": [
{
"page_number": 1,
"description": "Last name entry field",
"field_label": "Last Name",
"label_bounding_box": [120, 175, 242, 198],
"entry_bounding_box": [255, 175, 720, 218],
"entry_text": {"text": "Smith", "font_size": 10}
}
]
}
```
**Important**: Use `image_width`/`image_height` and the refined pixel coordinates from the zoom analysis.
### B.5: Validate Bounding Boxes
Before filling, check your bounding boxes for errors:
`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py fields.json`
This checks for intersecting bounding boxes and entry boxes that are too small for the font size. Fix any reported errors before filling.
---
## Hybrid Approach: Structure + Visual
Use this when structure extraction works for most fields but misses some elements (e.g., circular checkboxes, unusual form controls).
1. **Use Approach A** for fields that were detected in form_structure.json
2. **Convert PDF to images** for visual analysis of missing fields
3. **Use zoom refinement** (from Approach B) for the missing fields
4. **Combine coordinates**: For fields from structure extraction, use `pdf_width`/`pdf_height`. For visually-estimated fields, you must convert image coordinates to PDF coordinates:
- pdf_x = image_x * (pdf_width / image_width)
- pdf_y = image_y * (pdf_height / image_height)
5. **Use a single coordinate system** in fields.json - convert all to PDF coordinates with `pdf_width`/`pdf_height`
---
## Step 2: Validate Before Filling
**Always validate bounding boxes before filling:**
`python scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py fields.json`
This checks for:
- Intersecting bounding boxes (which would cause overlapping text)
- Entry boxes that are too small for the specified font size
Fix any reported errors in fields.json before proceeding.
## Step 3: Fill the Form
The fill script auto-detects the coordinate system and handles conversion:
`python scripts/fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py <input.pdf> fields.json <output.pdf>`
## Step 4: Verify Output
Convert the filled PDF to images and verify text placement:
`python scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py <output.pdf> <verify_images/>`
If text is mispositioned:
- **Approach A**: Check that you're using PDF coordinates from form_structure.json with `pdf_width`/`pdf_height`
- **Approach B**: Check that image dimensions match and coordinates are accurate pixels
- **Hybrid**: Ensure coordinate conversions are correct for visually-estimated fields

## Quick Reference
| Task | Guide |
|------|-------|
| Read/analyze content | `python -m markitdown presentation.pptx` |
| Edit or create from template | Read [editing.md](editing.md) |
| Create from scratch | Read [pptxgenjs.md](pptxgenjs.md) |
---
## Reading Content
```bash
# Text extraction
python -m markitdown presentation.pptx
# Visual overview
python scripts/thumbnail.py presentation.pptx
# Raw XML
python scripts/office/unpack.py presentation.pptx unpacked/
```
---
## Editing Workflow
**Read [editing.md](editing.md) for full details.**
1. Analyze template with `thumbnail.py`
2. Unpack → manipulate slides → edit content → clean → pack
---
## Creating from Scratch
**Read [pptxgenjs.md](pptxgenjs.md) for full details.**
Use when no template or reference presentation is available.
---
## Design Ideas
**Don't create boring slides.** Plain bullets on a white background won't impress anyone. Consider ideas from this list for each slide.
### Before Starting
- **Pick a bold, content-informed color palette**: The palette should feel designed for THIS topic. If swapping your colors into a completely different presentation would still "work," you haven't made specific enough choices.
- **Dominance over equality**: One color should dominate (60-70% visual weight), with 1-2 supporting tones and one sharp accent. Never give all colors equal weight.
- **Dark/light contrast**: Dark backgrounds for title + conclusion slides, light for content ("sandwich" structure). Or commit to dark throughout for a premium feel.
- **Commit to a visual motif**: Pick ONE distinctive element and repeat it — rounded image frames, icons in colored circles, thick single-side borders. Carry it across every slide.
### Color Palettes
Choose colors that match your topic — don't default to generic blue. Use these palettes as inspiration:
| Theme | Primary | Secondary | Accent |
|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
| **Midnight Executive** | `1E2761` (navy) | `CADCFC` (ice blue) | `FFFFFF` (white) |
| **Forest & Moss** | `2C5F2D` (forest) | `97BC62` (moss) | `F5F5F5` (cream) |
| **Coral Energy** | `F96167` (coral) | `F9E795` (gold) | `2F3C7E` (navy) |
| **Warm Terracotta** | `B85042` (terracotta) | `E7E8D1` (sand) | `A7BEAE` (sage) |
| **Ocean Gradient** | `065A82` (deep blue) | `1C7293` (teal) | `21295C` (midnight) |
| **Charcoal Minimal** | `36454F` (charcoal) | `F2F2F2` (off-white) | `212121` (black) |
| **Teal Trust** | `028090` (teal) | `00A896` (seafoam) | `02C39A` (mint) |
| **Berry & Cream** | `6D2E46` (berry) | `A26769` (dusty rose) | `ECE2D0` (cream) |
| **Sage Calm** | `84B59F` (sage) | `69A297` (eucalyptus) | `50808E` (slate) |
| **Cherry Bold** | `990011` (cherry) | `FCF6F5` (off-white) | `2F3C7E` (navy) |
### For Each Slide
**Every slide needs a visual element** — image, chart, icon, or shape. Text-only slides are forgettable.
**Layout options:**
- Two-column (text left, illustration on right)
- Icon + text rows (icon in colored circle, bold header, description below)
- 2x2 or 2x3 grid (image on one side, grid of content blocks on other)
- Half-bleed image (full left or right side) with content overlay
**Data display:**
- Large stat callouts (big numbers 60-72pt with small labels below)
- Comparison columns (before/after, pros/cons, side-by-side options)
- Timeline or process flow (numbered steps, arrows)
**Visual polish:**
- Icons in small colored circles next to section headers
- Italic accent text for key stats or taglines
### Typography
**Choose an interesting font pairing** — don't default to Arial. Pick a header font with personality and pair it with a clean body font.
| Header Font | Body Font |
|-------------|-----------|
| Georgia | Calibri |
| Arial Black | Arial |
| Calibri | Calibri Light |
| Cambria | Calibri |
| Trebuchet MS | Calibri |
| Impact | Arial |
| Palatino | Garamond |
| Consolas | Calibri |
| Element | Size |
|---------|------|
| Slide title | 36-44pt bold |
| Section header | 20-24pt bold |
| Body text | 14-16pt |
| Captions | 10-12pt muted |
### Spacing
- 0.5" minimum margins
- 0.3-0.5" between content blocks
- Leave breathing room—don't fill every inch
### Avoid (Common Mistakes)
- **Don't repeat the same layout** — vary columns, cards, and callouts across slides
- **Don't center body text** — left-align paragraphs and lists; center only titles
- **Don't skimp on size contrast** — titles need 36pt+ to stand out from 14-16pt body
- **Don't default to blue** — pick colors that reflect the specific topic
- **Don't mix spacing randomly** — choose 0.3" or 0.5" gaps and use consistently
- **Don't style one slide and leave the rest plain** — commit fully or keep it simple throughout
- **Don't create text-only slides** — add images, icons, charts, or visual elements; avoid plain title + bullets
- **Don't forget text box padding** — when aligning lines or shapes with text edges, set `margin: 0` on the text box or offset the shape to account for padding
- **Don't use low-contrast elements** — icons AND text need strong contrast against the background; avoid light text on light backgrounds or dark text on dark backgrounds
- **NEVER use accent lines under titles** — these are a hallmark of AI-generated slides; use whitespace or background color instead
---
## QA (Required)
**Assume there are problems. Your job is to find them.**
Your first render is almost never correct. Approach QA as a bug hunt, not a confirmation step. If you found zero issues on first inspection, you weren't looking hard enough.
### Content QA
```bash
python -m markitdown output.pptx
```
Check for missing content, typos, wrong order.
**When using templates, check for leftover placeholder text:**
```bash
python -m markitdown output.pptx | grep -iE "xxxx|lorem|ipsum|this.*(page|slide).*layout"
```
If grep returns results, fix them before declaring success.
### Visual QA
**⚠️ USE SUBAGENTS** — even for 2-3 slides. You've been staring at the code and will see what you expect, not what's there. Subagents have fresh eyes.
Convert slides to images (see [Converting to Images](#converting-to-images)), then use this prompt:
```
Visually inspect these slides. Assume there are issues — find them.
Look for:
- Overlapping elements (text through shapes, lines through words, stacked elements)
- Text overflow or cut off at edges/box boundaries
- Decorative lines positioned for single-line text but title wrapped to two lines
- Source citations or footers colliding with content above
- Elements too close (< 0.3" gaps) or cards/sections nearly touching
- Uneven gaps (large empty area in one place, cramped in another)
- Insufficient margin from slide edges (< 0.5")
- Columns or similar elements not aligned consistently
- Low-contrast text (e.g., light gray text on cream-colored background)
- Low-contrast icons (e.g., dark icons on dark backgrounds without a contrasting circle)
- Text boxes too narrow causing excessive wrapping
- Leftover placeholder content
For each slide, list issues or areas of concern, even if minor.
Read and analyze these images:
1. /path/to/slide-01.jpg (Expected: [brief description])
2. /path/to/slide-02.jpg (Expected: [brief description])
Report ALL issues found, including minor ones.
```
### Verification Loop
1. Generate slides → Convert to images → Inspect
2. **List issues found** (if none found, look again more critically)
3. Fix issues
4. **Re-verify affected slides** — one fix often creates another problem
5. Repeat until a full pass reveals no new issues
**Do not declare success until you've completed at least one fix-and-verify cycle.**

## Converting to Images
Convert presentations to individual slide images for visual inspection:
```bash
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf output.pptx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 output.pdf slide
```
This creates `slide-01.jpg`, `slide-02.jpg`, etc.
To re-render specific slides after fixes:
```bash
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 -f N -l N output.pdf slide-fixed
```
