Issue 79866

= *INTRO* =

In the past several years, more and more presentations are held online.
Actually, the trend is clearly away from the classic meeting involving sitting
in front of a beamer and watching a power point (or impress) presentation
projected on the wall.

Several sites have specialized on online presentations, like Medscape
(http://www.medscape.com) and Univadis (http://www.univadis.de). There are
dozens of other sites and the number is likely to increase further.

Unfortunately, these online presentations involve saving the original
presentation as individual images and embedding these images into web pages.

However, this method has major disadvantages.

= *DISADVANTAGES* =

1. the content of the slide is destroyed (converted to a picture)
2. NO interactivity
3. everyone has its own browsing preferences
   - fixed-size slides cannot be adapted to the custom size of the browser window

I will therefore submit a number of feature requests intended to solve these
problems. Additionally, they are all intended to ease the working with
web-presentations and also to enhance Impress' handling of web-presentations.
Therefore, the ultimate goal lies in arming Impress for the future.

All these issues block issue 66169 (see
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66169).

*= FEATURE REQUEST 1 =*

OOo's Impress export to HTML should be enhanced.

Currently, OOo's export to html is minimal at best:
 - the structure is lost
 - many features are lost
 - and, most importantly, it does NOT take benefit of web formats, like:
   -- variable display size (non-fixed, as every user prefers a different web
browser display size)
   -- interactivity (web-features like js, ...)

This issue shall deal with the HTML export. I will post several new issues
dealing with the remaining features.

*Impress shall export a presentation as a TRUE HTML file*, and not as mere images!

Please note, that it is possible to include almost any effect inside an
html-presentations using only standard HTML. I have posted a PHP-script that
generates such web-based presentations on Sourceforge.net (it was only a proof
of concept program and I won't have time to improve it; but it shows that it is
possible to do more than OOo currently does, even 3D-effects), see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/webaprez.

*DETAILS*
OOo shall export:
 - tables
 - complex lists (bullets and numbering, including multiple levels)
 - text frames
 - relative positioning, and many more

I will attach one of my old presentations (a MS ppt, but it is opened correctly
in Impress). Try to export it as HTML and view the Text-HTML. It is disappointing.
