extract-template

# Extract a reusable template from a file Look at what the file holds, decide what it is, follow that guide to the end. Run the commands below from the directory containing this guide. Render a `.pptx` or `.ppt` first. An image is already viewable. ```bash okou presentation screenshot --input <source.pptx|source.ppt> --out shots ``` Render a PDF or Word document at its own page proportions before judging layout: ```bash node scripts/render-document.mjs --input <source.pdf|source.docx> --out source-render ``` Use a new output directory for each render. Keep the original as the source; use the returned PDF and page images for inspection. | The file is | Go to | |---|---| | a deck — `.pptx`, `.ppt`, an image deck, or a `.pdf` whose pages are slides | `presentation/SKILL.md` | | a Word document — `.docx` | `docx/SKILL.md` | | a PDF document — pages of prose, not slides | `pdf/SKILL.md` | | artwork — `.png`, `.jpg`, or several images of one drawing style | `illustration/SKILL.md` | A page carrying one idea in display type is a slide. A page carrying running prose under a repeated header, footer, or page number is a document. A picture with no reading order is artwork. Re-save a `.doc`, or a `.docx` written by WPS, as `.docx` from Word first. Four rules override the table: - A deliverable the user names beats the table. "Turn these slides into a Word template" is `docx/`; "save this report's look as a presentation template" is `presentation/`. - Extract from the authoring file when it sits beside an export of itself: `.docx` over its PDF, `.pptx` over its PDF. - One or two pages at a paper size is never slides, however sparse. A resume and an invoice carry as little text as a slide and are still documents. - Several images at once are one style to `illustration/`, not several templates. A single image of a page — a scanned document, a screenshot of slides — is that page's kind, not artwork. `cd` into the branch directory; every path inside a branch guide is relative to it. Both document guides start with [`document-reuse.md`](document-reuse.md) to choose the reuse scope and package.
