## Output Structure

```
output-directory/
β”œβ”€β”€ presentation.html # Main presentation file
β”œβ”€β”€ presentation_report.md # Detailed conversion report
β”œβ”€β”€ conversion.log # Full conversion log
└── assets/
β”œβ”€β”€ slide1_img_rId2.png # Images (150 DPI)
β”œβ”€β”€ slide2_chart_1.json # Chart data
β”œβ”€β”€ slide3_video_rId5.mp4 # Videos
└── slide4_audio_rId7.mp3 # Audio files
```

## Dependencies

- **Python 3.7+**
- **python-pptx** - PowerPoint file parsing
- **openpyxl** - Excel chart data extraction

No web dependencies - Chart.js loads from CDN in generated HTML.

## Conversion Quality

### Fully Preserved Elements (100%)
- Text formatting (fonts, colors, size, bold, italic, underline)
- Shape positioning (pixel-accurate)
- Images with exact placement
- Tables with all styling
- Hyperlinks (text and shape level)
- Video and audio playback

### Phase 2 Elements (NEW - 95%+)
- **Charts**: Data-driven with Chart.js
- **Custom Shapes**: SVG-based rendering
- **Shadows**: CSS box-shadow
- **Animations**: CSS keyframes + JavaScript

### Approximate Elements (Text-only)
- **SmartArt**: Text hierarchy preserved, visual layout simplified

### Not Supported
- Macros and VBA scripts
- Master slide templates (complex inheritance)
- Embedded fonts (falls back to web-safe fonts)
- Complex 3D effects

## Performance

- **Processing Speed**: 1-2 seconds per slide
- **Memory Usage**: ~100MB for typical presentations
- **Output Size**: HTML 50-300KB, assets proportional to media
- **Browser Support**: All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- **Mobile Support**: Fully responsive with touch navigation

## Logging and Reports

Phase 2 includes comprehensive logging:

```bash
# Console output shows progress
INFO: Processing slide 1...
INFO: Extracted bar chart
INFO: Extracted custom arrow shape
INFO: Processing slide 2...

# Detailed report (markdown)
## Conversion Statistics
- Duration: 3.45 seconds
- Slides processed: 15
- Total elements: 127
- Charts: 8
- Custom shapes: 23
- Tables: 5
- SmartArt: 2
- Media files: 34

## Status: βœ… SUCCESS
```

## Troubleshooting

**Filename with special characters causing errors?**
- **macOS/Linux**: Quote the filename when using shell scripts
```bash
./convert.sh "presentation (with spaces).pptx"
./convert.sh "(ν•œκΈ€) 파일λͺ….pptx" # Korean or special characters
```
- **Windows**: Use quotes in Command Prompt or PowerShell
```cmd
convert.bat "presentation (with spaces).pptx"
```
- **Python directly**: No quoting needed
```bash
python scripts/convert_pptx_to_html_v2.py "(ν•œκΈ€) 파일λͺ….pptx" output/
```

**Charts not rendering?**
- Ensure Chart.js CDN is accessible
- Check browser console for JavaScript errors
- Verify chart data was extracted (check logs)

**Custom shapes appear as rectangles?**
- Some complex paths may not convert perfectly
- Check conversion log for warnings
- Use preset shapes when possible

**SmartArt looks different?**
- SmartArt only preserves text content
- Visual layout is approximated
- Consider converting complex diagrams to images in PowerPoint first

**High memory usage?**
- Large presentations with many images may use more memory
- Try reducing DPI (default: 150, try: 96)
- Process in batches if needed
