Common patterns

# JSON output (parseable structured data)
npx aurochs pptx show deck.pptx 1 -o json

# Extract specific range
npx aurochs pptx extract deck.pptx --slides 1,3-5
npx aurochs docx extract doc.docx --sections 1,3-5

Want to build → How?

Only PPTX supports full JSON spec-based building (DOCX/XLSX use template copy).

# 1. Inspect the template
npx aurochs pptx show template.pptx 1 -o json
npx aurochs pptx theme template.pptx

# 2. Create spec.json (→ see Build spec in references/pptx.md)

# 3. Build → verify
npx aurochs pptx build spec.json
npx aurochs pptx preview output.pptx --border
