Slide Sections

Group slides using sections.

Syntax

pptx.addSection({ title: "Tables" });
pptx.addSection({ title: "Tables", order: 3 });

Section Options

Option	Type	Description	Possible Values
title	string	section title	0-n OR 'n%'. (Ex: {x:'50%'} will place object in the middle of the Slide)
order	integer	section order	1-n. Used to add section at any index

Section Example

import pptxgen from "pptxgenjs";
let pptx = new pptxgen();

// STEP 1: Create a section
pptx.addSection({ title: "Tables" });

// STEP 2: Provide section title to a slide that you want in corresponding section
let slide = pptx.addSlide({ sectionTitle: "Tables" });

slide.addText("This slide is in the Tables section!", { x: 1.5, y: 1.5, fontSize: 18, color: "363636" });
pptx.writeFile({ fileName: "Section Sample.pptx" });

Custom Shows

Define named, ordered subsets of slides ("custom shows") that PowerPoint can present independently — for example a short executive version and a full version of the same deck. Custom shows reference slides you have already added; they do not duplicate them.

Syntax

pptx.addCustomShow({ name: "Exec Summary", slides: [slide1, slide3] });

Custom Show Options

Option	Type	Description	Possible Values
name	string	custom show display name	any string (XML-escaped automatically)
slides	PresSlide[]	slides included, in show order	slide objects returned by addSlide()

Custom Show Example

import pptxgen from "pptxgenjs";
let pptx = new pptxgen();

let slide1 = pptx.addSlide(); slide1.addText("Overview", { x: 1, y: 1, fontSize: 24 });
let slide2 = pptx.addSlide(); slide2.addText("Details", { x: 1, y: 1, fontSize: 24 });
let slide3 = pptx.addSlide(); slide3.addText("Summary", { x: 1, y: 1, fontSize: 24 });

// A short show that skips the details slide
pptx.addCustomShow({ name: "Exec Summary", slides: [slide1, slide3] });

pptx.writeFile({ fileName: "Custom Show Sample.pptx" });
