# pptx-to-md
Convert PowerPoint (.pptx) to Markdown via Pandoc.
## When to Use
- Extracting slide content for editing in plain text
- Migrating decks into documentation systems
- Salvaging content from legacy `.pptx` files
## What's Here
`pptx-to-md.cjs` — Node script that wraps Pandoc.
## External Dependencies
- `node` (≥ 16)
- `pandoc` (≥ 3.0) on PATH
## Usage
```bash
node pptx-to-md.cjs deck.pptx
node pptx-to-md.cjs deck.pptx --output deck.md
node pptx-to-md.cjs deck.pptx --extract-media ./media
```
## Output Structure
| PowerPoint | Markdown |
|------------|----------|
| Each slide | `## Slide N` heading |
| Title placeholder | First line under heading |
| Body text / bullets | Paragraphs and lists |
| Speaker notes | Quoted block at slide end |
| Embedded images | Saved to `--extract-media` dir, referenced as `![]()` |
## Notes
- Animations, transitions, and complex layouts are lost — content survives, motion does not
- Pair with `md-to-pptx` for round-trip workflows (lossy for layouts, lossless for content)
- Use `--extract-media` to keep images as separate files instead of inlining
