ODP

After trying a lot of combinations I found these manual steps resulted in a pretty good conversion of a large (100 slide) OO Impress file into MediaWiki syntax (for the results, see v:User:Jtneill/Sandbox/odp to txt3):

• Using OO Impress, save odp as ppt
• Using MS PPT, save ppt as rtf
• Using OO Writer, save rtf as html
• Using OO Writer, export html as mediawiki syntax (txt)
• Using a text editor, open txt and search and replace:
  • <center> -> == and </center> -> ==
  • # -> * (if you want bullets rather than numbers)
  • ’ -> '
  • ‘ -> '
  • ‏ ->
  • – -> -
  •  -> <
  • ïƒ -> >
  • “ -> "
  • ” -> "

Note that this approach does not include:

• Images
• Notes

i.e. it just provides the viewable slide headings and text

PDF

• pdf to MW syntax works OK-ish with OO Writer
