Hi,

I followed this thread with great interest. I looked to get something similar for excel and powerpoint files.

In combination with xlhtml and this script http://users.skynet.be/six/gpure/tech/linux/config/xls2html
I view excell files in dillo.

In combination with pptview and this script http://users.skynet.be/six/gpure/tech/linux/config/ppt2html
I view powerpoint files in dillo.

It's very useful on an old machine which can't run those heavy office programs but you want to get a preview anyway... It would better to have a program to convert it to a ps file tho. But I didn't find that.

Those scripts look pretty neat.

Where do you get xlhtml and pptview and how big are they?

Hey, thanks a lot gunnix!!! I didn't even know an xlhtml or ppthtml existed. But they seem to be available through apt-get, so I bet we could make dsl-packages out of them using cbagger's script!

This is really good!

I ment ppthtml in my post, not pptview. I just named the script pptview on my computer, that's why.

The programs are very small. Don't thank me, thank the author ;)

Gunnix, many thanks for the post - along with reider I didn't know of ppthtml and xlhtml
but now I've seen them I think they are musts for DSL. The xlhtml was particularly nice and
at 19 K and 60 K (uncompressed) respectively with no libs surely they'd compliment the distro!!

Thanks again.
