Question

How to wget SlideShowPlugin slides one by one.

I have created a slideshow in no time in TWiki. At first as a scribbling tool, surprizingly easy and moreover fast. However I have to comply with compagny rules, and meanwhile lost considerable time with PowerPoint.

How can I export (or wget) the slides one by one, because then I can in PowerPoint File->Open and read them in one by one.

Perhaps better options are available.

Hm, why not simply copy and paste the itemized lists in plain from the topic view?

At this time I do not see an easy way to export TWiki slides to PowerPoint in batch mode. You might be able to copy the topic text into the PowerPoint outline mode. An alternative would be to create a converter, such as a Visual Basic program that takes the TWiki source copied into the clipboard, and generates the slides.

After fiddling a bit. Copy-paste in PP is a real pain, due to its automatic formatting. I found no way to switch this off. Eventually I have put the slides in print mode (in TWiki), and from there copy-paste into OpenOffice, that accepts most as is. Then save it as PPT. Of course you have to do tuning anyway

Hmm, many steps indeed. Closing this question...
