Some background: I am thinking of creating a tool that will be able to generate pptx based on text file (kind of simple scripting - let's call it slidescript - possible defined yaml / json structure). So it would have defined syntax and will be allowing to split a slide into logical slots (e.g. in 4 equal slots, title and body slots, or whatever configuration you can have) - the point it that these slots will be created programically (by slide compiler) so will be super precisely placed.

Then in slot you can place objects like text, bullets, images, icons, etc.. - also by declaring in the slidescript file.

Then such slidescript file is compiled and pptx is produced (with all objects places precisely as the author wanted).

Such tool would make possible to treat slides as code - with all positive consequences of it - like managing changes history via git.

Not to mentioned that it could also be good way for LLMs to improve its ability of slides generation.

Note: I am not thinking of something like python / js packages that can wrote a piece of code that then will generate pptx.

Now the question:

Does it make sense?

Or maybe there is already something like this ?
