powerpoint-custom-table-style-generator
Allows you to create custom style file for your PowerPoint tables. It will generate custom styles for all your accent colors the same way PowerPoint creates its default styles. For instance:
Installation
You need to install gomplate. You also need realpath to be available.
On MacOS you can install those using brew:
brew install coreutils
brew install gomplate
Execution
In a Terminal run ./render.sh to get help on available options.
You can use the default template and example file to test the various options:
./render.sh -x example.pptx -i 2 -o 5 -a 35 template.xml
Do not forget to close and reopen example.pptx file in PowerPoint to see the results.
To copy the result to your clipboard (for use with OOXML Tools extension for instance), use the -x copy option.
Customizing the template
You can of course customize the template to your needs. You will need to:
- get PowerPoint XML knowledge (see next section)
- get gomplate syntax knowledge
And do not hesitate to share your templates through a PR!
