Text, Arrows, and Highlights Are Not Properly Converted to HTML5

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?

Animations in HTML5 output documents are click-activated, but I have found issues with their timeline and order and have also logged issues.

The issues have normal priority now. You can contact Paid Support to increase the priority. Please mention the issue IDs or this forum thread there.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as SLIDESNET-43204) have been fixed in Aspose.Slides for .NET 22.9 (ZIP, MSI).
You can check all fixes on the Release Notes page.
