[OFFTOPIC] pptx conversions

Hello,

this is a little off the topic but, as pptx and docx has the same architecture, is there a plan to add pptx conversions or manipulations in this library?

or a new project called pptx4j ?

or is there already a project like that?

Thanks,

Yigit

You could look at Apache POI, which covers pptx (and xlsx ).

docx4j uses JAXB; POI uses xmlbeans.

It wouldn't take much to add PPTX support to docx4j; its really a question of whether to make a separate project or not. I think that would be better, so the names are not misleading, but then the open packaging (and other common stuff) really ought to be renamed as well.
