One of the problems is that the odp files seem to consist of basically
h1 for the slide titles and h2 for the slide bullet point text.
After trying a lot of combinations I eventually found that these manual
steps resulted in a pretty good conversion of an OO Impress file to
MediaWiki syntax:
* Using OO Impress, save odp as ppt
* Using MS PPT, ppt save as rtf
* Using OO Writer, open rtf and save as html
* Using OO Writer, open html and export as mediawiki syntax
* Using a text editor, open txt and search and replace:
o replace <center> with == and </center> with ==
o replace # with * (if you want bullets rather than numbers)
o âEUR^(TM) with '
o âEUR~ with '
o âEUR? with
o âEUR" with -

alright, i'm having fun getting not very far with
converting stuff to
mediawiki syntax
my latest mystery i thought would be easy... but alas...
I am trying to convert odp files to mediawiki text. I just want to get
the outline bullet-pointed text and headings into mediawiki markup. I
have tried pasting into OO writer and using the MW export, but it
doesn't come out as hoped. MSO PPT has a save to .rtf feature - I also
tried this and pasting the rft into OO, but didn't get anything usable.
