As mentioned the recent work [1] by Sterling, giving it a try to convert OpenOffice Impress documents to the PHP presentation (pres2) [2] format, I tried to come along with another approach using XSLT [3] instead of expat. The xsl is just too simple yet but it works for OOo slides with a title and a text; did not try more [4].
Just uncompress the *pres.sxi to a folder tmp and use xsltproc.exe to run the XSLT. It should work.
Some discussion on what a basic sxi file needs to look like can be found on a OOo mailinglist [5] or at Raymond Yee\’s site [6].
