Append HTML String to PowerPoint in C#, VB.NET

Spire.Presentation supports to insert HTML formatted text to PowerPoint slide. The following code snippets demonstrate how to.

Step 1: Create an instance of Presentation class.

Presentation ppt = new Presentation();

Step 2: Insert an autoshape (rectangle) in slide.

IAutoShape shape = ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, new RectangleF(50, 50, 400, 100));

Step 3: Clear default paragraphs in the shape.

shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs.Clear();

Step 4: Add paragraphs to shape from HTML code. Make sure your HTML segments are written between <html><body> and </body></html> tags, otherwise, AddFromHtml method will fail to work.

string htmlText= "<html><body><p>First paragraph</p><p>Second paragraph</p></body></html>";
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs.AddFromHtml(htmlText);

Step 5: Save to file.

ppt.SaveToFile("output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

Output:
