How are slides created in powerpoint?

Question

Microsoft Office

When I remove, for example, the title of a slide, how does it work? Where is the xaml code written automatically for each slide? Can it be viewed and changed?

Answer 1

Hmm, well, let's start with the fact that any new office file is a zip archive containing a bunch of xml, and everything is written in them. Hands to edit a thankless task, there are libraries that simplify this to varying degrees. And so look for the specification of the pptx format

Answer 2

Powepoint (any office) can be stored in two formats, the first - after 2007 pptx, this is a set of xml - as described above, to get access, unzip the file and then you can already deal with the structure. The second ppt format is the Compound File Binary Format until 2003, it's so easy to change something there, because. in fact, this is a proprietary format, you can see what's inside through special tools, it's rather problematic to change something yourself.
