How To Build A Captivating Presentation Using HTML, CSS, & JavaScript

Building beautiful presentations is hard. Often you're stuck with Keynote or PowerPoint, and the templates are extremely limited and generic. Well not anymore.

Today, we're going to learn how to create a stunning and animated presentation using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

If you're a beginner to web development, don't fret! This tutorial will be easy enough to keep up with. So let's slide right into it!

We're going to be using an awesome framework called Reveal.js . It provides robust functionality for creating interesting and customizable presentations.

Head over to the Reveal.js repository and clone the project (you can also fork this to your GitHub namespace).

Change directories into your newly cloned folder and run npm install to download the package dependencies. Then run npm start to run the project.

The index.html file holds all of the markup for the slides. This is one of the downsides of using Reveal.js; all of the content will be placed inside this HTML file.

Built-In Themes

Reveal includes 11 built-in themes for you to choose from:

Changing The Theme

Open index.html
Change the CSS import to reflect the theme you want to use

The theme files are:

solarized.css

Custom Themes

It's quite easy to create a custom theme. Today, I'll be using my custom theme from a presentation I gave called "How To Build Kick-Ass Website: An Introduction To Front-end Development."

Here is what my custom slides look like:

Creating A Custom Theme

Open css/theme/src inside your IDE. This holds all of the Sass files ( .scss ) for each theme. These files will be transpiled to CSS using Grunt (a JavaScript task runner). If you prefer to write CSS, go ahead and just create the CSS file inside css/theme.
Create a new .scss file. I will call mine custom.scss . You may have to stop your localhost and run npm run build to transpile your Sass code to CSS.
Inside the index.html file, change the CSS theme import in the <head> tag to use the name of the newly created stylesheet. The extension will be .css , not .scss .
Next, I created variables for all of the different styles I wanted to use. You can find custom fonts on Google Fonts. Once the font is downloaded, be sure to add the font URL's into the index.html file.

Here are the variables I chose to use:

Title Font: Viga
Content Font: Open Sans
Code Font: Courier New
Cursive Font: Great Vibes
Yellow Color: #F9DC24
Add a .reveal class to the custom Sass file. This will wrap all of the styles to ensure our custom theme overrides any defaults. Then, add your custom styling!

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I'll admit that I used quite a bit of !important overrides in my CSS. This is horrible practice and I don't recommend it. The reveal.css file has extremely specific CSS styles, so I should have, if I had more time, gone back and ensured my class names were more specific so I could remove the !importants .

Mixins & Settings

Reveal.js also comes with mixins and settings you can leverage in your custom theme.

To use the mixins and settings, just import the files into your custom theme:

Mixins You can use the vertical-gradient, horizontal-gradient, or radial-gradient mixins to create a neat visual effect.

All you have to do is pass in the required parameters (color value) and voila, you've got a gradient!

Settings In the settings file, you'll find useful variables like heading sizes, default fonts and colors, and more!

The structure for adding new content is:

.reveal > .slides > section

The <section> element represents one slide. Add as many sections as you need for your content.

Vertical Slides

To create vertical slides, simply nest sections.

Transitions

There are several different slide transitions for you to choose from:

To use them, add a data-transition="{name}" to the <section> which contains your slide data.

Fragments are great for highlighting specific pieces of information on your slide. Here is an example.

To use fragments, add a class="fragment {type-of-fragment}" to your element.

The types of fragments can be:

fade-in-then-out
fade-in-then-semi-out
highlight-current-blue
highlight-red
highlight-green
highlight-blue

You can additionally add indices to your elements to indicate in which order they should be highlighted or displayed. You can denote this using the data-fragment-index={index} attribute.

There are way more features to reveal.js which you can leverage to build a beautiful presentation, but these are the main things which got me started.

To learn more about how to format your slides, check out the reveal.js tutorial . All of the code for my presentation can be viewed on GitHub. Feel free to steal my theme!

I really love reveal.js. I haven't spoken in a while so I haven't used it. I've always used their themes and never thought about making my own. This is probably super useful for company presentations, too. I'm SO over google slides. Trying to format code in those is a nightmare LOL

The best thing in this - and now I'm not being ironic - is that while you work on a not so much technical task - creating a presentation - you still have to code. And the result is nice.

On the other hand, I know what my presentation skills teachers would say. Well, because they said it... :) If you really want to deliver a captivating presentation, don't use slides at all. Use the time to prepare what you want to say.

I'm not that good - yet, but taking their advice, if must I use few slides, with little information on them and with minimal graphical distractions. My goal is to impress them by what I say, not is what behind my head.

I'm going to a new training soon, where the first day we have to deliver a presentation supported by slides at a big auditorium and the next day we have to go back and forget about the slides and just get on stage and speak. I can't wait for it.

How about github.com/team-fluxion/slide-gazer ?

It's my fourth attempt at creating a simple presentation tool to help one present ideas quickly without having to spend time within a presentation editor like Microsoft PowerPoint. It directly converts markdown documents into elegant presentations with a few features and is still under development.

Yup, RevealJS is awesome !

Previously I either used PPT or Google Slides. One is a paid license and the other requires an internet connection.

The cool thing about it is that since it's just HTML files behind the scenes, the only software you need to view it with is a web browser. Has amazing syntax-highlighting support via PrismJS. And as a web developer, it makes it simple to integrate other npm packages if need be...

I actually just used it to present a talk this week!

Check out slides.com If you want to skip the heavy lifting and/or use a presentation platform based on reveal.js.

Everything is still easy to customize. The platform provides a UI to work from and an easy way to share your stuff.

BTW - I have no affiliation with slides.com, or even a current account. I used the service a few years back when I regularly presented and wanted to get over PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.

Well I guess you get to look ultra pro by skipping the moment where you have to adjust for display detection and make sure your notes don’t show because you plugged your display connector in 😩 But If the conference has no wifi then we’re screwed I guess

I like Reveal, but I still have not moved past using Google docs slides because every presentation I do has to be done yesterday. Hoping that I can use Reveal more often this year as I get more time to work on each presentation.

Well this is nice and I haven't tried it maybe because I haven't spoken much in meet ups but I think PowerPoint is still much better than going all these steps and what if I have network connection issues that day then I'm scrolled right?

How to Create Presentation Slides with HTML and CSS

March 15, 2022

We can easily create beautiful and interactive presentations with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the three basic web technologies. In this tutorial, we’ll use modern HTML5 markup to structure our slides, we’ll use CSS to style the slides and add some effects, and we’ll use JavaScript to trigger these effects and reorganize the slides based on click events.

This tutorial is perfect for those of you new to HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, who are looking to learn something new by building.

Here’s the final preview of the presentation slide we’re going to build:

You can also find the complete source code in the GitHub repo .

Let’s begin.

Table of Contents

1. Create the Directory Structure

Before we get started, let’s go ahead and create our folder structure; it should be fairly simple. We’ll need:

index.html css/style.css js/scripts.js

This is a simple base template. Your files remain blank for the time being. We’ll fill that shortly.

2. Create the Starter Markup

Let’s begin by creating the base markup for our presentation page. Paste the following snippet into your index.html file.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang=”en”> <head> <meta charset=”UTF-8″> <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″> <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge”> <title>Document</title> <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”css/style.css”>

<!– Font Awesome Icon CDN –> <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0/css/all.min.css” integrity=”sha512-9usAa10IRO0HhonpyAIVpjrylPvoDwiPUiKdWk5t3PyolY1cOd4DSE0Ga+ri4AuTroPR5aQvXU9xC6qOPnzFeg==” crossorigin=”anonymous” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer” /> </head> <body> <div class=”container” <div id=”presentation-area”> <!– slides go here –> </div> </div> <script src=”js/index.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> </body> </html>

From the base markup, you can tell that we are importing Font Awesome Icons, our stylesheet ( style.css ) and our JavaScript ( index.js ).

Now we’ll add the HTML markup for the actual slides inside the <div> wrapper:

<!– Slide 1 –> <div class=”slide show”> <div class=”heading”> Presentation on C# </div> <div class=”content grid center”> <h3 class=”title”> What is C# ? <br /> All You Need To Know </h3> </div> </div>

<!– Slide 1 –> <div class=”slide”> <div class=”heading”> Overview </div> <div class=”content grid center”> <h3 class=”title”> Introduction to C+ </h3> <p class=”sub-title”> Basic and Advanced Concepts </p> <p>Lecture No. 1</p> <p>My Email Address</p> <p><a href=””> [email protected] </a></p> </div> </div>

<!– Add 5 more slides here –> </section>

We have seven slides in total, and each slide is comprised of the heading section and the content section.

Only one slide will be shown at a time. This functionality is handled by the .show class which will be implemented later on in our stylesheet.

Using JavaScript, later on, we’ll dynamically add the .show class to the active slide on the page.

Below the slides, we’ll add the markup for our slide’s counter and tracker:

Later on, we’ll use JavaScript to update the text content as the user navigates through the slides.

Finally, we’ll add the slide navigator just below the counter:

This section consists of four buttons responsible for navigating left and right and switching between full-screen mode and small-screen mode. Again, we’ll use the class .show to regulate which button appears at a time.

That’ll be all for the HTML part, let’s move over to styling.

3. Make It Pretty

Our next step takes place within our stylesheet. We’ll be focusing on both aesthetics as well as functionality here. To make each slide translate from left to right, we’ll need to target the class .show with a stylesheet to show the element.

Here’s the complete stylesheet for our project:

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; transition: all 0.5s ease; }

body { width: 100vw; height: 100vh; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; }

ul { margin-left: 2rem; }

ul li, a { font-size: 1.2em; }

.container { background: #212121; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: relative; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; }

#presentation-area { width: 1000px; height: 500px; position: relative; background: purple; }

/* Styling all three sections */ #presentation-area .presentation { width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; background: #ffffff; position: relative; }

#presentation-area .counter { position: absolute; bottom: -30px; left: 0; color: #b6b6b6; }

#presentation-area .navigation { position: absolute; bottom: -45px; right: 0; }

/* On full screen mode */ #presentation-area.full-screen { width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .counter { bottom: 15px; left: 15px; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .navigation { bottom: 15px; right: 15px; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .navigation .btn:hover { background: #201e1e; color: #ffffff; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .navigation .btn-screen:hover { background: #201e1e; } /* End full screen mode */

/* Buttons */ .navigation button { width: 30px; height: 30px; border: none; outline: none; margin-left: 0.5rem; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 30px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; }

.navigation .btn { background: #464646; color: #ffffff; border-radius: 0.25rem; opacity: 0; transform: scale(0); }

.navigation .btn.show { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1); visibility: visible; }

.navigation .btn-screen { background: transparent; color: #b6b6b6; visibility: hidden; }

.btn-screen.show { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1); visibility: visible; }

.btn-screen.hover { color: #ffffff; box-shadow: 0px 10px 30px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } /* End Buttons */

/* content */ .presentation .content { padding: 2em; width: 100%; height: calc(100% – 100px); z-index: 11; }

.presentation .content.grid { display: grid; }

.presentation .content.grid.center { justify-content: center; align-items: center; text-align: center; }

.content .title { font-size: 3em; color: purple; }

.content .sub-title { font-size: 2.5em; color: purple; }

.content p { font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1rem; } /* End Content Stylesheet */

/* Slide */ .presentation .slide { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: #ffffff; opacity: 0; transform: scale(0); visibility: none; }

.slide.show { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1); visibility: visible; }

.slide .heading { padding: 2rem; background: purple; font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; }

4. Enable Slide Navigation

Whenever we click on the left or right icon, we want the next slide or previous slide to appear. We also want to be able to toggle between full-screen mode and small-screen mode.

Furthermore, we want the slide’s counter to display the accurate slide number on every slide. All these features will be enabled with JavaScript.

Inside js/index.js , we’ll begin by storing references to the presentation wrapper, the slides, and the active slide:

let slidesParentDiv = document.querySelector(‘.slides’); let slides = document.querySelectorAll(‘.slide’); let currentSlide = document.querySelector(‘.slide.show’);

Next, we’ll store references to the slide counter and both of the slide navigators (left and right icons):

var slideCounter = document.querySelector(‘.counter’); var leftBtn = document.querySelector(‘#left-btn’); var rightBtn = document.querySelector(‘#right-btn’);

Then store references to the whole presentation container and both button icons for going into full screen and small screen mode:

let presentationArea = document.querySelector(‘#presentation-area’); var fullScreenBtn = document.querySelector(‘#full-screen’); var smallScreenBtn = document.querySelector(‘#small-screen’);

Now that we’re done with the references, we’ll initialize some variables with default values:

var screenStatus = 0; var currentSlideNo = 1 var totalSides = 0;

screenStatus represents the screen orientation. 0 represents a full screen mode and 1 represents a small screen mode.

currentSlideNo represents the current slide number, which as expected is the first slide. totalSlides is initialized with 0, but this will be replaced by the actual number of our slides.

Moving the Presentation to the Next and Previous Slides

Next, we’ll add click event listeners to the left button, right button, full screen button and small screen button:

leftBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, moveToLeftSlide); rightBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, moveToRightSlide);

fullScreenBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, fullScreenMode); smallScreenBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, smallScreenMode);

We bind corresponding functions that will run when the click event is triggered on the corresponding element.

Here are the two functions responsible for changing the slide:

function moveToLeftSlide() { var tempSlide = currentSlide; currentSlide = currentSlide.previousElementSibling; tempSlide.classList.remove(‘show’); currentSlide.classList.add(‘show’); }

function moveToRightSlide() { var tempSlide = currentSlide; currentSlide = currentSlide.nextElementSibling; tempSlide.classList.remove(‘show’); currentSlide.classList.add(‘show’); }

In the function moveToLeftSlide, we basically access the previous sibling element (ie. the previous slide), remove the .show class on the current slide and add it to that sibling. This will move the presentation to the previous slide.

We do the exact opposite of this in the function moveToRightSlide. Because nextElementSibling is the opposite of previousElementSibling, we’ll be getting the next sibling instead.

Code for Showing the Presentation in Full Screen and Small Screen

Recall that we also added click event listeners to the full screen and small screen icons.

Here’s the function responsible for toggling full-screen mode:

function fullScreenMode() { presentationArea.classList.add(‘full-screen’); fullScreenBtn.classList.remove(‘show’); smallScreenBtn.classList.add(‘show’);

screenStatus = 1; }

function smallScreenMode() { presentationController.classList.remove(‘full-screen’); fullScreenBtn.classList.add(‘show’); smallScreenBtn.classList.remove(‘show’);

screenStatus = 0; }

Recall that presentationArea refers to the element that wraps the whole presentation. By adding the class full-screen to this element, we trigger the CSS that will expand it to take up the whole screen.

Since we’re now in full-screen mode, we need to show the icon for reverting back to the small screen by adding the class .show to it. Finally, we update the variable screenStatus to 1.

For the smallScreenMode function, the opposite is done – we remove the class full-screen, show the expand button icon, and reupdate screenStatus.

Hidding Left and Right Icons in First and Last Slides

Now, we need to invent a way to hide both the left and right buttons when we’re on the first slide and last slide respectively.

We’ll use the following two functions to achieve this:

function hideLeftButton() { if(currentSlideNo == 1) { toLeftBtn.classList.remove(‘show’); } else { toLeftBtn.classList.add(‘show’); } }

function hideRightButton() { if(currentSlideNo === totalSides) { toRightBtn.classList.remove(‘show’); } else { toRightBtn.classList.add(‘show’); } }

Both these functions perform a very simple task: they check for the current slide number and hide the left and right buttons when the presentation is pointing to the first and last slide respectively.

Updating and Displaying Slide Number

Because we’re making use of the variable currentSlideNo to hide or show the left and right button icons, we need a way to update it as the user navigates through the slides.

We also need to display to the user what slide he or she is currently viewing.

We’ll create a function getCurrentSlideNo to update the current slide number:

function getCurrentSlideNo() { let counter = 0;

slides.forEach((slide, i) => { counter++

if(slide.classList.contains(‘show’)){ currentSlideNo = counter; } });

We start the counter at 0, and for each slide on the page, we increment the counter. We assign the active counter (ie. with the class .show) to the currentSlideNo variable.

With that in place, we create another function that inserts some text into the slide counter:

function setSlideNo() { slideNumber.innerText = `${currentSlideNo} of ${totalSides}` }

So if we were on the second slide for example, the slide’s counter will read as: 2 of 6

Putting Everything Together

To ensure that all of these functions run in harmony, we’ll run them in a newly created init function that we’ll execute at start of the script, just below the references:

function init() {

getCurrentSlideNo(); totalSides = slides.length setSlideNo(); hideLeftButton(); hideRightButton(); }

We must also run init() at the bottom of both the moveToLeftSlide and moveToRightSlide functions:

function moveToLeftSlide() { // other code

function moveToRightSlide() { // other code

This will ensure that the function init runs every time the user navigates left or right in the presentation.

Wrapping Up

I hope this tutorial helped you understand basic web development better. Here we built a presentation slideshow from scratch using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

With this project, you should have learned some basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript syntax to help you with web development.

Fantastic Ordered List

One is smaller than...
Two is smaller than...

Transition Styles

You can select from different transitions, like: Cube - Page - Concave - Zoom - Linear - Fade - None - Default

Reveal.js comes with a few themes built in: Default - Sky - Beige - Simple - Serif - Night Moon - Solarized

* Theme demos are loaded after the presentation which leads to flicker. In production you should load your theme in the <head> using a <link> .

Global State

Set data-state="something" on a slide and "something" will be added as a class to the document element when the slide is open. This lets you apply broader style changes, like switching the background.

Custom Events

Additionally custom events can be triggered on a per slide basis by binding to the data-state name.

Slide Backgrounds

Set data-background="#007777" on a slide to change the full page background to the given color. All CSS color formats are supported.

Image Backgrounds

Repeated image backgrounds, background transitions.

Pass reveal.js the backgroundTransition: 'slide' config argument to make backgrounds slide rather than fade.

Background Transition Override

You can override background transitions per slide by using data-background-transition="slide" .

Clever Quotes

These guys come in two forms, inline: “The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from” and block:

“For years there has been a theory that millions of monkeys typing at random on millions of typewriters would reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. The Internet has proven this theory to be untrue.”

What are the key features to look for in an HTML5 presentation system?

When choosing an HTML5 presentation system, consider features such as ease of use, customization options, and compatibility with various devices. The system should have an intuitive interface that allows you to create presentations without any coding knowledge. Customization options are important for personalizing your presentation to match your brand or style. Additionally, the system should be compatible with different devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, to ensure your audience can view your presentation without any issues.

How does HTML5 improve the presentation experience compared to traditional methods?

HTML5 enhances the presentation experience by offering interactive and dynamic content. Unlike traditional methods, HTML5 allows for the integration of multimedia elements like videos, audio, and animations directly into the presentation. This makes the presentation more engaging and interactive for the audience. Additionally, HTML5 presentations are web-based, meaning they can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, providing convenience and flexibility for both the presenter and the audience.

Are HTML5 presentations compatible with all browsers?

HTML5 presentations are generally compatible with all modern web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

Therefore, it’s always a good idea to test your presentation on multiple browsers to ensure it displays correctly.

Can I use HTML5 presentation systems for professional purposes?

Yes, HTML5 presentation systems are suitable for a variety of professional purposes. They can be used for business presentations, educational lectures, product demonstrations, and more. The ability to incorporate multimedia elements and interactive features makes HTML5 presentations a powerful tool for conveying complex information in an engaging and understandable way.

How can I make my HTML5 presentation accessible to all users?

To make your HTML5 presentation accessible, ensure that all content is readable and navigable for users with different abilities. This includes providing alternative text for images, captions for videos, and using clear and simple language. Additionally, make sure your presentation is responsive, meaning it adjusts to fit different screen sizes and orientations.

Can I convert my existing PowerPoint presentations to HTML5?

Yes, many HTML5 presentation systems offer the ability to import and convert PowerPoint presentations. This allows you to leverage your existing content while benefiting from the enhanced features and capabilities of HTML5.

Do I need to know how to code to use HTML5 presentation systems?

While having some knowledge of HTML5 can be beneficial, many HTML5 presentation systems are designed to be user-friendly and do not require any coding skills. These systems often feature drag-and-drop interfaces and pre-designed templates to help you create professional-looking presentations with ease.

Can I share my HTML5 presentations online?

Yes, one of the major advantages of HTML5 presentations is that they can be easily shared online. You can publish your presentation on your website, share it via email, or even embed it in a blog post or social media update.

Are HTML5 presentations secure?

HTML5 presentations are as secure as any other web content. However, it’s important to follow best practices for web security, such as using secure hosting platforms and regularly updating your software to protect against potential vulnerabilities.

Can I track the performance of my HTML5 presentations?

Yes, many HTML5 presentation systems include analytics features that allow you to track viewer engagement and behavior. This can provide valuable insights into how your audience interacts with your presentation, helping you to improve and refine your content over time.

Presenting Code

reveal.js includes a powerful set of features aimed at presenting syntax highlighted code — powered by highlight.js . This functionality lives in the highlight plugin and is included in our default presentation boilerplate.

Below is an example with clojure code that will be syntax highlighted. When the data-trim attribute is present, surrounding whitespace within the <code> is automatically removed.

HTML will be escaped by default. To avoid this, add data-noescape to the <code> element.

Make sure that a syntax highlight theme is included in your document. We include Monokai by default, which is distributed with the reveal.js repo at plugin/highlight/monokai.css . A full list of available themes can be found at https://highlightjs.org/demo/ .

Line Numbers & Highlights

You can enable line numbers by adding data-line-numbers to your <code> tags. If you want to highlight specific lines you can provide a comma separated list of line numbers using the same attribute. For example, in the following example lines 3 and 8-10 are highlighted:

Line Number Offset 4.2.0

You can offset the line number if you want to showcase a excerpt of a longer set of code. In the example below, we set data-ln-start-from="7" to make the line numbers start from 7.

Step-by-step Highlights

You can step through multiple code highlights on the same code block. Delimit each of your highlight steps with the | character. For example data-line-numbers="1|2-3|4,6-10" will produce three steps. It will start by highlighting line 1, next step is lines 2-3, and finally line 4 and 6 through 10.

HTML Entities 4.1.0

Content added inside of a <code> block is parsed as HTML by the web browser. If you have HTML characters (<>) in your code you will need to escape them ($lt; $gt;).

To avoid having to escape these characters manually, you can wrap your code in <script type="text/template"> and we'll handle it for you.

The highlight.js API & beforeHighlight 4.2.0

If you want to interact with highlight.js before your code is highlighted you can use the beforeHighlight callback. For example, this can be useful if you want to register a new language via the highlight.js API .

Manual Highlighting

All of your code blocks are automatically syntax highlighted when reveal.js starts. If you want to disable this behavior and trigger highlighting on your own you can set the highlightOnLoad flag to false.

W3.CSS Colors

Web building, w3.css slideshow.

Manual Slideshow

Displaying a manual slideshow with W3.CSS is very easy.

Just create many elements with the same class name:

JavaScript Explained

First, set the slideIndex to 1. (First picture)

Then call showDivs() to display the first image.

When the user clicks one of the buttons call plusDivs() .

The plusDivs() function subtracts one or adds one to the slideIndex.

The showDiv() function hides ( display="none" ) all elements with the class name "mySlides", and displays ( display="block" ) the element with the given slideIndex.

If the slideIndex is higher than the number of elements (x.length), the slideIndex is set to zero.

If the slideIndex is less than 1 it is set to number of elements (x.length).

Automatic Slideshow

To display an automatic slideshow is even simpler.

You only need a little different JavaScript:

HTML Slides

The slides do not have to be images.

They can be any HTML content:

Lorem ipsum

Slideshow caption.

Add a caption text for each image slide with the w3-display-* classes (topleft, topmiddle, topright, bottomleft, bottommiddle, bottomright, left, right or middle):

Slideshow Indicators

An example of using buttons to indicate how many slides there are in the slideshow, and which slide the user is currently viewing.

Another example:

Images as Indicators

An example of using images as indicators:

Multiple Slideshows on the Same Page

To operate multiple slideshows on one page, you must class the members of each slideshow group with different classes:

Animated Slides

Slide or fade in an element from the top, bottom, left or right of the screen with the w3-animate-* classes.

Faded Animation

The w3-animate-fading class fades an element in and out (takes about 10 seconds).

HTML BASICS Slides Presentation

Click to access all Slides..

This slide presentation shows basics of HTML.

HTML and XHTML are the foundation of all web development. HTML is used as the graphical user interface in client-side programs written in JavaScript. Server-side languages like PHP and Java also receive data from web pages and use HTML as the output mechanism. The emerging Ajax technologies likewise use HTML and XHTML as their visual engine. HTML was once a very loosely-defined language with very little standardization, but as it has become more important, the need for standards has become more apparent. Regardless of whether you choose to write HTML or XHTML, understanding the current standards will help you provide a solid foundation that will simplify all your other web coding. Fortunately HTML and XHTML are actually simpler than they used to be, because much of the functionality has moved to CSS.

Common Elements

Every page (HTML or XHTML shares certain elements in common.) All are essentially plain text files, with the .html extension. HTML files should not be created with a word processor, but in some type of editor that creates plain text. Every page has a large container (HTML or XHTML) and two major subcontainers, the head and the body. The head area contains information useful behind the scenes, such as CSS formatting instructions and JavaScript code. The body contains the part of the page that is visible to the user.

Tags and Attributes

An HTML document is based on the notion of tags. A tag is a piece of text inside angle brackets (<>). Tags typically have a beginning and an end, and usually contain some sort of text inside them. For example, a paragraph is normally denoted like this:

The <p> indicates the beginning of a paragraph. Text is then placed inside the tag, and the end of the paragraph is denoted by an end tag, which is similar to the start tag but with a slash (</p>.) It is common to indent content in a multi-line tag, but it is also legal to place tags on the same line:

Tags are sometimes enhanced by attributes, which are name value pairs that modify the tag. For example, the tag (used to embed an image into a page) usually includes the following attributes:

The src attribute describes where the image file can be found, and the alt attribute describes alternate text that is displayed if the image is unavailable.

Nested tags

Tags can be (and frequently are) nested inside each other. Tags cannot overlap, so <a><b></a></b> is not legal, but <a><b></b></a> is fine.

HTML VS XHTML

HTML has been around for some time. While it has done its job admirably, that job has expanded far more than anybody expected. Early HTML had very limited layout support. Browser manufacturers added many competing standards and web developers came up with clever workarounds, but the result is a lack of standards and frustration for web developers. The latest web standards (XHTML and the emerging HTML 5.0 standard) go back to the original purpose of HTML: to describe the structure of the data only, and leave all formatting to CSS (Please see the DZone CSS Refcard Series). XHTML is nothing more than HTML code conforming to the stricter standards of XML. The same style guidelines are appropriate whether you write in HTML or XHTML (but they tend to be enforced in XHTML):

Most of the requirements of XHTML turn out to be good practice whether you write HTML or XHTML. I recommend using XHTML strict so you can validate your code and know it follows the strictest standards.

XHTML has a number of flavors. The strict type is recommended, as it is the most up-to-date standard which will produce the most predictable results. You can also use a transitional type (which allows deprecated HTML tags) and a frameset type, which allows you to add frames. For most applications, the strict type is preferred.

HTML Template

The following code can be copied and pasted to form the foundation of a basic web page:

The structure of your web pages is critical to the success of programs based on those pages, so use a validating tool to ensure you haven't missed anything

Validating Tool	Description
WC3	The most commonly used validator is online at http://validator.w3.org this free tool checks your page against the doctype you specify and ensures you are following the standards. This acts as a 'spell-checker' for your code and warns you if you made an error like forgetting to close a tag.
HTML Tidy	There's an outstanding free tool called HTML tidy which not only checks your pages for validity, but also fixes most errors automatically. Download this tool at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ or (better) use the HTML validator extension to build tidy into your browser.
HTML Validator extension	The extension mechanism of Firefox makes it a critical tool for web developers. The HTML Validator extension is an invaluable tool. It automatically checks any page you view in your browser against both the w3 validation engine and tidy. It can instantly find errors, and repair them on the spot with tidy. With this free extension available at http://users.skynet. be/mgueury/mozilla/ , there's no good reason not to validate your code.

USEFUL OPEN SOURCE TOOLS

Some of the best tools for web development are available through the open source community at no cost at all. Consider these application as part of your HTML toolkit:

Open Source Tool	Description
Aptana	http://www.aptana.com/ This free programmer's editor (based on Eclipse) is a full-blown IDE customized for HTML / XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax. It offers code completion, syntax highlighting, and FTP support within the editor.
Web Developer Toolbar	https://www.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 This Firefox extension adds numerous debugging and web development tools to your browser.
Firebug	https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 is an add-on that adds full debugging capabilities to the browser. The firebug lite version even works with IE.

PAGE STRUCTURE ELEMENTS

The following elements are part of every web page.

Element	Description
<html></html>	Surrounds the entire page
<head></head>	Contains header information (metadata, CSS styles, JavaScript code)
<title></title>	Holds the page title normally displayed in the title bar and used in search results
<body></body>	Contains the main body text. All parts of the page normally visible are in the body

KEY STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

Most pages contain the following key structural elements:

Element	Name	Description
<h1> </h1>	Heading 1	Reserved fo strongest emphasis
<h2> </h2>	Heading 2	Secondary level heading. Headings go down to level 6, but <h1> through <h3> are most common
<p> </p>	Paragraph	Most of the body of a page should be enclosed in paragraphs
<div> </div>	Division	Similar to a paragraph, but normally marks a section of a page. Divs usually contain paragraphs

LISTS AND DATA

Web pages frequently incorporate structured data so HTML includes several useful list and table tag

Element	Name	Description
<ul></ul>	Unordered list	Normally these lists feature bullets (but that can be changed with CSS)
<ol></ol>	Ordered list	These usually are numbered, but this can be changed with CSS
<li></li>	List item	Used to describe a list item in an unordered list or an ordered list
<dl></dl>	Definition list	Used for lists with name-value pairs
<dt></dt>	Definition term	The name in a name-value pair. Used in definition lists
<dd></dd>	Definition description	The value (or definition) of a name, value pair
<table></table>	Table	Defines beginning and end of a table
<tr></tr>	Table row	Defines a table row. A table normally consists of several <tr> pairs (one per row)
<td></td>	Table data	Indicates data in a table cell. <td> tags occur within <tr> (which occur within <table>)
<th></th>	Table heading	Indicates a table cell to be treated as a heading with special formatting

Standard List Types

HTML supports three primary list types. Ordered lists and unordered lists are the primary list types. By default, ordered lists use numeric identifiers, and unordered lists use bullets.

However, you can use the list-style-type CSS attribute to change the list marker to one of several types.

Lists can be nested inside each other

Definition lists

The special definition list is used for name / value pairs. The definition term (dt) is a word or phrase that is used as the list marker, and the definition data is normally a paragraph:

Use of tables

Tables were used in the past to overcome the page-layout shortcomings of HTML. That use is now deprecated in favor of CSS-based layout. Use tables only as they were intended, to display tabular data.

A table mainly consists of a series of table rows (tr.) Each table row consists of a number of table data (td) elements. The table heading (th) element can be used to indicate a table cell should be marked as a heading.

The rowspan and colspan attributes can be used to make a cell span more than one row or column.

Each row of a table should have the same number of columns, and each column should have the same number of rows. Use of the span attribute may require adjustment to other rows or columns.

LINKS AND IMAGES

Links and images are both used to incorporate external resources into a page. Both are reliant on URIs (Universal Resource Indicators), commonly referred to as URLs or addresses.

<a> (anchor) The anchor tag is used to provide the basic web link:

In this example, http://www.example.com is the site to be visited. The text "link to example.com" will be highlighted as a link.

absolute and relative references

<link>

The link tag is used primarily to pull in external CSS files:

<img>

The img tag is used in to attach an image. Valid formats are .jpg, .png, and .gif. An image should always be accompanied by an alt attribute describing the contents of the image.

Image formatting attributes (height, width, and align) are deprecated in favour of CSS.

SPECIALTY MARKUP

HTML / XHTML includes several specialty tags. These are used to describe special purpose text. They have default styling, but of course the styles can be modified with CSS.

<quote>

The quote tag is intended to display a single line quote:

Quote is an inline tag. If you need a block level quote, use <blockquote>.

<pre>

The <pre> tag is used for pre-formatted text. It is sometimes used for code listings or ASCII art because it preserves carriage returns. Pre-formatted text is usually displayed in a fixed-width font.

<code>

The code format is used to manage pre-formatted text, especially code listings. It is very similar to pre.

This tag is used to mark multi-line quotes. Frequently it is set off with special fonts and indentation through CSS. It is a block-level tag.

<span>

The span tag is a vanilla inline tag. It has no particular formatting of its own. It is intended to be used with a class or ID when you want to apply style to an inline chunk of code.

The em tag is used for standard emphasis. By default, <em> italicizes text, but you can use CSS to make any other type of emphasis you wish.

This tag represents strong emphasis. By default, it is bold, but you can modify the formatting with CSS.

Forms are the standard user input mechanism in HTML / XHTML. You will need another language like JavaScript or PHP to read the contents of the form elements and act upon them.

Form Structure

A number of tags are used to describe the structure of the form. Begin by looking over a basic form:

The <form></form> pair describes the form. In XHTML strict, you must indicate the form's action property. This is typically the server-side program that will read the form. If there is no such program, you can set the action to null ("") The method attribute is used to determine whether the data is sent through the get or post mechanism.

Most form elements are inline tags, and must be encased in a block element. The fieldset is designed exactly for this purpose. Its default appearance draws a box around the form. You can have multiple fieldsets inside a single form.

You can add a legend inside a fieldset. This describes the purpose of the fieldset.

A label is a special inline element that describes a particular field. A label can be paired with an input element by putting that element's ID in the label's for attribute.

The input element is a general purpose inline element. It is meant to be used inside a form, and it is the basis for several types of more specific input. The subtype is indicated by the type attribute. Input elements usually include an id attribute (used for CSS and JavaScript identification) and / or a name attribute (used in server-side programming.) The same element can have both a name and an id.

This element allows a single line of text input:

Passwords display just like textboxes, except rather than showing the text as it is typed, an asterisk appears for each letter. Note that the data is not encoded in any meaningful way. Typing text into a password field is still entirely unsecure.

Radio Button

Radio buttons are used in a group. Only one element of a radio group can be selected at a time. Give all members of a radio group the same name value to indicate they are part of a group.

Attaching a label to a radio button means the user can activate the button by clicking on the corresponding label. For best results, use the selected attribute to force one radio button to be the default.

Checkboxes are much like radio buttons, but they are independent. Like radio buttons, they can be associated with a label.

Hidden fields hold data that is not visible to the user (although it is still visible in the code) It is primarily used to preserve state in server-side programs.

Note that the data is still not protected in any meaningful way.

Buttons are used to signal user input. Buttons can be created through the input tag:

This will create a button with the caption "launch the missiles." When the button is clicked, the page will attempt to run a JavaScript function called "launchMissiles()" Standard buttons are usually used with JavaScript code on the client. The same button can also be created with this alternate format:

This second form is preferred because buttons often require different CSS styles than other input elements. This second form also allows an <img> tag to be placed inside the button, making the image act as the button.

The reset button automatically resets all elements in its form to their default values. It doesn't require any other attributes.

Select / option

Drop-down lists can be created through the select / option mechanism. The select tag creates the overall structure, which is populated by option elements.

The select has an id (for client-side code) or name (for serverside code) identifier. It contains a number of options. Each option has a value which will be returned to the program. The text between <option> and </option> is the value displayed to the user. In some cases (as in this example) the value displayed to the user is not the same as the value used by programs.

Multiple Selections

You can also create a multi-line selection with the select and option tags:

DEPRECATED FORMATTING TAGS

Certain tags common in older forms of HTML are no longer recommended as CSS provides much better alternatives.

The font tag was used to set font color, family (typeface) and size. Numerous CSS attributes replace this capability with much more flexible alternatives. See the CSS refcard for details.

I (italics)

HTML code should indicate the level of emphasis rather than the particular stylistic implications. Italicizing should be done through CSS. The <em> tag represents emphasized text. It produces italic output unless the style is changed to something else. The <i> tag is no longer necessary and is not recommended. Add font-style: italic to the style of any element that should be italicized.

Like italics, boldfacing is considered a style consideration. Use the <strong> tag to denote any text that should be strongly emphasized. By default, this will result in boldfacing the enclosed text. You can add bold emphasis to any style with the font-weight: bold attribute in CSS.

DEPRECATED TECHNIQUES

In addition to the deprecated tags, there are also techniques which were once common in HTML that are no longer recommended.

Frames have been used as a layout mechanism and as a technique for keeping one part of the page static while dynamically loading other parts of the page in separate frames. Use of frames has proven to cause major usability problems. Layout is better handled through CSS techniques, and dynamic page generation is frequently performed through server-side manipulation or AJAX.

Table-based design

Before CSS became widespread, HTML did not have adequate page formatting support. Clever designers used tables to provide an adequate form of page layout. CSS provides a much more flexible and powerful form of layout than tables, and keeps the HTML code largely separated from the styling markup.

HTML ENTITIES

Sometimes you need to display a special character in a web page. HTML has a set of special characters for exactly this purpose. Each of these entities begins with the ampersand(&) followed by a code and a semicolon.

Character	Name	Code	Note
	Non-breaking space		Adds white space
	<	Used to display HTML code or mathematics
>	Greater than	>	Used to display HTML code or mathematics
&	Ampersand	&	If you're not displaying an entity but really want the & symbol
©	Copyright	©	Copyright symbol
®	Registered trademark	®	Registered trademark

HTML 5 / CSS3 PREVIEW

New technologies are on the horizon. Firefox 3.5 now has support for significant new HTML 5 features, and CSS 3 is not far behind. While the following should still be considered experimental, they are likely to become very important tools in the next few years. Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 (and a few other recent browsers) support the following new features:

Audio and video tags

Finally the browsers have direct support for audio and video without plugin technology. These tags work much like the img tag.

The HTML 5 standard currently supports Ogg Theora video, Ogg Vorbis audio, and wav audio. The Ogg formats are opensource alternatives to proprietary formats, and plenty of free tools convert from more standard video formats to Ogg. The autoplay option causes the element to play automatically. The controls element places controls directly into the page.

The code between the beginning and ending tag will execute if the browser cannot process the audio or video tag. You can place alternate code here for embedding alternate versions (Flash, for example)

The canvas tag offers a region of the page that can be drawn upon (usually with Javascript.) This creates the possibility of real interactive graphics without requiring plugins like Flash.

This is actually a CSS improvement, but it's much needed. It allows you to define a font-face in CSS and include a ttf font file from the server. You can then use this font face in your ordinary CSS and use the downloaded font. If this becomes a standard, we will finally have access to reliable downloadable fonts on the web, which will usher in web typography at long last.

Embed a PowerPoint presentation into HTML

Is it possible to embed a PowerPoint presentation (.ppt) into a webpage (.xhtml)?

This will be used on a local intranet where there is a mix of Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 only, so no need to consider other browsers.

I've given up... I guess Flash is the way forward.

Is there any way to embed a pptx file in HTML? – Himanshu Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 6:41

Google Docs can serve up PowerPoint (and PDF) documents in it's document viewer. You don't have to sign up for Google Docs, just upload it to your website, and call it from your page:

3 This solution isn't working anymore, because Google restricted the access with the X-Frame-Options to sameorigin – Hello It's me Commented Jul 27, 2017 at 12:48

I got so sick of trying all of the different options to web host a power point that were flaky or required flash so I rolled my own.

My solution uses a very simple javascript function to simply scroll / replace a image tag with GIFs that I saved from the Power Point presentation itself.

In the power point presentation click Save As and select GIF. Pick the quality you want to display the presentation at. Power Point will save one GIF image for each slide and name them Slide1.GIF, Slide2.GIF, etc.....

Create a HTML page and add a image tag to display the Power point GIF images.

Add some first, previous, next and last clickable objects with the onClick action as below:

Finally, add the below javascript function that when called grabs the next Slide.GIF image and displays it to the img tag.

Make sure the GIFs are reachable from the HTMl page. They are by default expected to be in the same directory but you should be able to see the logic and how to set to a image directory if required

I have training material up for my company that uses this technique at http://www.vanguarddata.com.au so before you spend any time trying it out you are welcome to look at in action.

I hope this helps someone else out there who is having as much headaches with this as I did.....

Very creative way. Good job. – JoshYates1980 Commented Jul 24, 2014 at 19:41

Would you have any idea how to deal with slides with animations? – Zane Commented Jun 6, 2017 at 20:46
Thanks for showing me this way of implementing a powerpoint on a web page. From the code you pasted above I think the first button should be swapImage(1) instead of swapImage(0) right? Also how would I implement a simple text that would let the user know which slide they are on for example like "Slide 3 of 16" or "Slide 1 of 16". – Makuza Commented Sep 30, 2020 at 1:10

Id recommend the official View Office documents online

for embeding you can simply use

This works really nicely for one file at a time ... do you know if they have an API that you could hit returning the URLs for multiple files? – K7Buoy Commented Feb 17, 2017 at 16:57
Hi @K7Buoy, did you ever find an API solution? I am also interested in an official API for displaying powerpoint slides. Thanks! – Jack Collins Commented Mar 21, 2018 at 2:11
Hi @JackCollins ... unfortunately not ... I hunted for quite sometime. – K7Buoy Commented Mar 21, 2018 at 16:27
Hi @K7Buoy Have tried to look for licencing for commercial use for this, can't find any clarity. Do you know if there are restrictions using this in a commercial aspect? – etchypap Commented May 26, 2020 at 20:24

DocStoc.com and Scribd.com both work well with Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. They'll show a variety of document types, including PowerPoint files (.ppt). I use these services for my intranet here at work. Of course, just remember to mark your documents as 'private' after you upload them.

besides, if you save ppt as .pps format using microsoft powerpoint, you can use the following code:

Another common way to do it is to convert ppt/doc to pdf,

then use swftool( http://www.swftools.org ) to convert it to swf

finally, take FlexPaper( http://flexpaper.devaldi.com ) as document viewer.

I don't know of a way to embed PowerPoint slides directly into HTML. However, there are a number of solutions online for converting a PPT file into a SWF , which can be embedded into HTML just like any other Flash movie.

Googling for 'ppt to swf' seems to give a lot of hits. Some are free, others aren't. Some handle things like animations, others just do still images. There's got to be one out there that does what you need. :)

You can use Microsoft Office Web Apps to embed PowerPoint and Excel Files. See Say more in your blog with embedded PowerPoint and Excel files .

1 The embedded PPT app isn't very high quality. It translates your slides to medium-quality jpegs and adds a toggle button. (You'd do better exporting the slides from Powerpoint yourself and then using a jQuery slider.) The full-screen pop-out works a bit better (it has animations, though they're not great), but it also relies on the Silverlight plugin--which doesn't work on mobile devices. – Brandon Lebedev Commented Dec 24, 2011 at 16:52
@BrandonLebedev, the embedded PPT's are actually better quality than the Google Docs rendering of PowerPoints from what I've seen. But as you rightly point out, it's not much use to mobile users, nor anyone who doesn't have the Silverlight plugin installed. – Ciaran Gallagher Commented May 28, 2013 at 23:55
The blog link is broke. – JoshYates1980 Commented Jul 24, 2014 at 19:36

I ended up going for screenshooting each slide, and using two different tabs to navigate, this was put into an . this gives high-res, but you sacrifice animations and interactivity, the only thing the user can do is read and change slide. heres an example off my website: http://deepschool.jaberwokkee.kodingen.com/~/Miss%20Necchi%27s%20powerpoints/Volume%20of%20prisms%20powerpoint/slide1.htm

Google Docs allows you to upload a PowerPoint document, you can then 'Share' it with everyone then you can 'Publish' it and this will provide code to embed it in your site or you can use a direct link which runs at the full size of the browser window. The conversion is pretty good and scales well because the text is retained rather than converted to an image. The conversion is pretty good and the whole thing is free. Definitely worth a go.

Tried all of the options in this stack and couldn't reach something that loaded swiftly, used PPT. file directly, and scaled easily. Saved out my ppt. as .gif and opted for "Infinite Carousel" (javascript) that I can drop images into easily. Has left right controls, play option, all the same stuff you find in ppt. presenter mode...

http://www.catchmyfame.com/2009/12/30/huge-updates-to-jquery-infinite-carousel-version-2-released/

The 'actual answer' is that you cannot do it directly. You have to convert your PowerPoint presentation to something that the browser can process. You can save each page of the PowerPoint presentation as a JPEG image and then display as a series of images. You can save the PowerPoint presentation as HTML. Both of these solutions will render only static pages, without any of the animations of PowerPoint. You can use a tool to convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash (.swf) and embed it that way. This will preserve any animations and presumably allow you to do an automatic slideshow without the need for writing special code to change the images.

Power point supports converting to mp4 which can be posted using a html5 video tag.

Save As > MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)

As an alternate solution, you can convert PPT/PPTX to JPG/SVG images and display them with revealjs . See example code here .

PS. I am working as SW developer at Aspose.

The first few results on Google all sound like good options:

http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00708.htm

http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86212

Some Flash tool that can convert the PowerPoint file to Flash could be helpful. Slide share is also helpful. For me, I will take something like PPT2Flash Pro or things like that.

Well, I think you get to convert the powerpoint to flash first. PowerPoint is not a sharable format on Internet. Some tool like PowerPoint to Flash could be helpful for you.

Try PowerPoint ActiveX 2.4 . This is an ActiveX component that embeds PowerPoint into an OCX.

Since you are using just Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 you can embed this component into the HTML.

As a side note: If your intranet users also have access to the Internet, you can use the SlideShare widget to embed your PowerPoint presentations in your website.

(Remember to mark your presentation as private!)

I spent a while looking into this and pretty much all of the freeware and shareware on the web sucked. This included software to directly convert the .ppt file to Flash or some sort of video format and also software to record your desktop screen. Software was clunky, and the quality was poor.

The solution we eventually came up with is a little bit manual, but it gave by far the best quality results:

Export the .ppt file into some sort of image format (.bmp, .jpeg, .png, .tif) - it writes out one file per slide
Import all the slide image files into Google Picasa and use them to create a video. You can add in some nice simple transitions (it hasn't got some of the horrific .ppt one's, but who cares) and it dumps out a WMV file of your specified resolution.

Saving out as .wmv isn't perfect, but I'm sure it's probably quite straightforward to convert that to some other format or Flash. We were looking to get them up on YouTube and this did the trick.

An easy (and free) way is to download OpenOffice and use Impress to open the PowerPoint presentation. Then export into a separate folder as HTML. Your presentation will consist of separate HTML files and images for each PowerPoint slide. Link to the title page, and you're done.

I was looking for a solution for similar problem.

I looked into http://phppowerpoint.codeplex.com/

But they have no better documentation, and even no demo page I could see over there and it was seemingly difficult.

What I came up with is: SkyDrive by Microsoft. https://skydrive.live.com

All you need is an account with them and upload your PPT and embed them straightaway. PPT player is quite clean to use and I like it.

I've noticed people recommending some PPT-to-Flash solutions, but Flash doesn't work on mobile devices. There's a hosting service called iSpring Cloud that automatically converts your PPT to combined Flash+HTML5 format and lets you generate an embed code for your website or blog. Full instructions can be found on their website .

Another option is to use Apple Keynote on a Mac (Libre Office couldn't event open a pptx I had) to save the presentation to HTML5. It does a pretty good job to produce exactly what it displays in keynote, e.g. it includes animations and video. Compatibility of keynote to powerpoint has it's limits though (independent of the export).
