Hi,

The standard advice is, "Start with the output and build the XSLT from there." If you have a PowerPoint file saved as XML, that will serve as your template for "reverse engineering" the XSLT.

Quite. Also, in the past, this was done not with a native Powerpoint XML (which didn't exist back when the requirement first emerged) but with the variant of HTML that Powerpoint exported and imported.

That might make a more tractable target even today, albeit at the risk of losing functionality. Testing would be required.

Cheers,
Wendell
