Text, Arrows, and Highlights Are Not Properly Converted to HTML5 in C#

Aspose.Slides Product Family

There appears to be significant issues when exporting a ppt to HTML5.

  1. Empty lines in text boxes are being removed, so that:
    A

B

C

becomes
A
B
C
2. Apparently, the rotation of arrows is not kept, so if you use a horizontal arrow and then make it vertical in ppt, once exported to html5, it’s rendered as horizontal again
3. Highlights are either removed or shrunk (black highlights meant to hide something is removed; yellow highlights meant to highlight something is shrunk)

Is there something that can be done to make it look like the original ppt?
