PowerPoint Presentation in JQuery Mobile

in jQuery Mobile • 9 years ago

Got a PowerPoint presentation in a regular webpage:

http://gmjones.org/accountantsinadr_hmrc.php

I can convert each of the slides into image files or pdf files easily. How do I set up an equivalent presentation in JQuery Mobile?

This has absolutely nothing to do with jQuery Mobile.

You will have to find out how to extract the text from a PowerPoint presentation and somehow get it into image files, PDF, and HTML. Once you have it in HTML, you can use it in your jQuery Mobile project. I'd suppose there are desktop programs to do this.

Depending on your needs, you might want to do a one-time batch conversion, or have the server do the conversion on the fly.

@Chrome4: You have hit upon the problem that very many teachers will soon realise they have -

Typically teachers deliver HTML-based resources on a VLE, running on a desktop of some sort. Often those resources mirror their paper-based antecedents. (PPTs are often copies of transparencies)

Your resource will have to be completely re-designed and re-written.

Here's a practical example of what I mean:

Here's the original reource and here is the JQM equivalent

(watusiware - please don't look at the code too closely it was done in great haste)

watusiware's advice is the optimum solution: get the server to convert on the fly. Getting someone to write the code to do that will take 20 times longer than getting stuck in to some basic JQM and writing it yourself.

Help yourself to my HTML if you like. It's rough and full of errors, but it works.
