Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61613
HTML Slidy/S5 compatbility
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:45:05 UTC
In my opinion, the HTML export of Impress should be CSS- and code-compatible with either HTML Slidy by Dave Regget or with Eric Meyer's S5 to ease their portability. As an enhancement, opening them would also very handy (but I can't select both subcomponents).
Reassigned.

Perhaps this could be achieved via XSLT, converting every XML-Element in a slide to the html-aquevalent. Support the user with wizards, that help converting the document, and you could create something like a web publishing wizard for web-based and accessible presentations. Take a look at this for inspiration: http://www.accessiblewizards.uiuc.edu/
Please have a look at the following issues: issue 66169 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66169) describing a more web-centered Impress, and the 2 sub-issues: issue 79866 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79866), and issue 79882 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=79882) As time will permit, I will file additional issues in that series.
Issues may arise when converting textual elements to HTML: different sizes on different browsers, different default fonts... An alternative, although uncommon solution may be to export Impress objects as individual images, and that way keep the slide structure in the exported HTML. Objects with text may be converted to images with ALT and/or LONGDESC attributes containing the text, so the exported HTML becomes both accessible and search engine friendly. Basic interaction can be also exported this way, by generating anchors around image objects. Absolute positioning seems reasonable. To minimize load times for slides with many objects, those that have neither text nor interaction assigned to it can be grouped and exported as one image. An advanced usage of this approach can be the usage of currently available JavaScript libraries to export object animation. For example, JQuery already implements most of Impress's animation features, and is designed in a way that suggests usability in our scenario.
taking over, lets see if we can solve this with the upcomming ooo internship...
@cl: This sounds very good. Am I correct that there is already something out called HTML Slidy/S6? Please see: http://community.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/archives/2009/02/10/jquery-based-s6-slide-package
