# Basic PPT Textboxes This demo consists of three files that work together: - **textboxes-basic.sh** — Shell script that calls `officecli` commands to generate the deck. - **textboxes-basic.pptx** — The generated 4-slide deck (alignment, multi-paragraph lists, styled runs, multilingual fonts + layout). - **textboxes-basic.md** — This file. Maps each slide to the features it demonstrates. ## Regenerate ```bash cd examples/ppt bash textboxes/textboxes-basic.sh # → textboxes/textboxes-basic.pptx ``` ## Slides ### Slide 1 — Horizontal Alignment Four textboxes with identical long text, one per `align=` value. ```bash officecli create textboxes-basic.pptx officecli open textboxes-basic.pptx officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx / --type slide LOREM='Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

0 = top-level, 1 = one indent, …) --- ### Slide 3 — Styled Runs (Rich Text) Three textboxes demonstrating per-run styling within a single paragraph. ```bash officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx / --type slide # Empty textbox — filled run-by-run via --type run officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]' --type textbox \ --prop x=0.5in --prop y=1.5in --prop width=12in --prop height=1in \ --prop text="" --prop size=20 # Append runs with different styles to paragraph [1] officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[1]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="The " officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[1]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="quick " --prop bold=true --prop color=E63946 officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[1]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="brown " --prop italic=true --prop color=A0522D officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[1]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="fox jumps over the " officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[1]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="lazy " --prop underline=single --prop color=2A9D8F officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[1]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="dog." # Superscript / subscript via baseline= (also accepts baseline=super/sub) officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]' --type textbox \ --prop x=0.5in --prop y=3in --prop width=12in --prop height=0.8in \ --prop text="" --prop size=24 officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[2]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="E = mc" officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[2]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="2" --prop baseline=super officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[2]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text=" and H" officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[2]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="2" --prop baseline=sub officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[2]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="O" # Strikethrough + size override in one paragraph officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]' --type textbox \ --prop x=0.5in --prop y=4.2in --prop width=12in --prop height=0.8in \ --prop text="" --prop size=20 officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[3]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="OLD PRICE: \$99 " --prop strike=single --prop color=999999 officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[3]/shape[3]/p[1]' --type run \ --prop text="NOW \$49!" --prop bold=true --prop color=E63946 --prop size=24 ``` **Features:** `--type run` (appends a run to the parent `p[N]` paragraph), `bold`, `italic`, `underline` (single, double, …), `strike` (single, double), `color` (hex), `size` (pt), `baseline` (super, sub, or signed integer %) --- ### Slide 4 — Multilingual Fonts + Vertical Alignment + Padding Per-script font selection, vertical text alignment within a tall box, and inner margin padding. ```bash officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx / --type slide # Mixed-script textbox: font.latin for Latin text, font.ea for East Asian characters officecli add textboxes-basic.pptx '/slide[4]' --type textbox \ --prop x=0.5in --prop y=1.5in --prop width=6in --prop height=2in \ --prop fill=F1FAEE --prop margin=0.2in \ --prop text="Hello, 世界! こんにちは、世界。" \ --prop size=24 --prop bold=true \ --prop font.latin="Georgia" --prop font.ea="Yu Mincho" # valign — vertical text position inside a tall fixed-height box # top (default), middle, bottom X=7 for va in top middle bottom;
