i needed something to combine multiple .pptx files, i couldn't believe pandoc can't do that, so here's a creative attempt using OOXML manipulation to do it https://git.aedrielkylejavier.me/kjandoc/atom?h=master 2026-03-17T04:07:23+00:00 2026-03-17T04:07:23+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-03-17T04:07:23+00:00 urn:sha1:bf4762e3921718d1c1cf8d8ff434516fce93621e 2026-03-02T01:50:34+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-03-02T01:50:34+00:00 urn:sha1:639f0f6a5bb48bc06dab9d064e84e408f17b8914 2026-03-02T01:49:15+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-03-02T01:49:15+00:00 urn:sha1:f4c52d2b4fdf9a94c2e9020308d968301d509f9b this thing actually became useful 2026-03-02T01:46:11+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-03-02T01:46:11+00:00 urn:sha1:cadfdd115f0456df3131b2dffed83bf425b08d16 2026-02-28T20:02:16+00:00 Kyle Javier [kj_sh604] 2026-02-28T20:02:16+00:00 urn:sha1:8f9756189c777074b88de39c2de1e2f7153352c2 # feat: use `feat/same-template-concat` branch `-st` implementation as main `kjandoc` binary this pull request updates the project to improve the quality and fidelity of merged `.pptx` files, and simplifies dependencies. the most significant changes are a rewrite of the merging approach to preserve editability and formatting, and the removal of several python dependencies that are no longer needed (as seen in the `feat/same-template-concat` that I still have up) ## enhancements to merging functionality: * the merging process now operates directly on the ooxml/zip structure of `.pptx` files, preserving full editability and achieving near-complete fidelity to the original formatting. slide masters, layouts, themes, notes, and embedded media are all copied, and duplicate media files are deduplicated. * a final libreoffice normalization step is used to clean up structural issues. ## dependency updates: * removed unnecessary dependencies from `src/requirements.txt`, including `pillow`, `python-pptx`, `typing_extensions`, and `xlsxwriter`, leaving only `lxml` as a required python package. 2026-02-28T19:54:01+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-02-28T19:54:01+00:00 urn:sha1:47a9736a1dfa8bfd4c5e5edd111e6ad28536066f 2026-02-28T19:54:01+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-02-28T19:54:01+00:00 urn:sha1:3dfbb69f676242cda3b9a34866853f5283c934c6 2026-02-28T19:54:01+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-02-28T19:54:01+00:00 urn:sha1:1b60f0eaf0a04d1c67ec987fc9222543bb7e2e45 2026-02-28T19:52:18+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-02-28T19:52:18+00:00 urn:sha1:f701bbcb3259cef245d7f45696406543048aa741 OOXML is vibe-coded but this was heavily manually reviewed 2026-02-16T01:16:50+00:00 kj_sh604 2026-02-16T01:16:50+00:00 urn:sha1:fafc3e29832779b5ccbea8fd21dc9fd5af67de38 also commit to the bigger image size and just install all the fonts
