Dylan M. TaylorandJordi Altayó 97cd9c8a98 craft-pptx: speaker notes and comments (from DeckCraft) (#1071)
* Add craft-drawingml: units, colours, preset shapes, custom geometry and text warps

The parts of DrawingML that need no document model, moved from DeckCraft
(60f91f78): crates/color, crates/geom (preset, warp, Xfrm and the EMU
conversions) and crates/pptx/src/custgeom.rs with CustomPath from
crates/model.

The code is unchanged except that custgeom reads craft-xml trees and writes
to a craft-xml Writer instead of DeckCraft's own XML helper, and matches
elements by local name. The 59 tests of the moved code come with it; six
more cover the custom geometry limits.

* drawingml: evaluate a custom geometry's guide lists once per coordinate space

read_cust_geom rebuilt Guides and evaluated avLst and gdLst again for every
path: up to 1,000 paths times up to 10,000 guides, each name copied and
hashed.

Guides are now cached per path coordinate space (w, h). At most 16 spaces
and 4 MiB of guide names are kept per geometry; paths in further spaces are
left out. The first space is always kept, and a geometry without guides is
not capped.

Ported from storytold/deckcraft#1789. A list counts as having guides only
when it has gd children, as that PR's review asked.

* drawingml: the model types for fills, lines, text, tables, charts and diagrams

Moved from DeckCraft (60f91f78) crates/model/src: style.rs, text.rs,
table.rs, chart.rs, numfmt.rs and trendline.rs, plus Diagram, DiagramNode
and the MediaId and SlideId newtypes from lib.rs.

The files are unchanged except that deckcraft_color:: is crate::color:: and
Fill and TableBorder allow clippy::large_enum_variant. Their 60 tests come
with them. Readers and writers follow.

* drawingml: the theme model (colour, font and format schemes)

Moved from DeckCraft crates/model/src/theme.rs at 60f91f78: FontSet, ScriptFont, FontScheme,
FormatScheme, Theme and default_format. The app's theme gallery, its variants and its own default
theme stay in the app. Theme::default() is a plain theme built in place, so nothing here depends
on a gallery.

* drawingml: readers and writers for fills, lines, text, charts, themes, table styles and diagrams

Moved from DeckCraft crates/pptx/src at 60f91f78: read/dml.rs, write/dml.rs, read/chart.rs,
read/chartex.rs, write/chart.rs, read/theme.rs, write/theme.rs, tables.rs and dgm.rs, onto
craft-xml. Package lookups (Imp, Part, Exp, Out) are the caller's part::Source and part::Sink.
The chart frame budget and kept-part capture stay with the presentation reader.

* drawingml: what WordCraft and GridCraft read that DeckCraft's copy did not

Every ST_PresetColorVal name has its colour, in any case and with the dk/lt/med abbreviations;
a sysClr without lastClr takes the usual value of its name; a Strict percentage (50%) reads
anywhere a percentage does; a chart series keeps its c:f formulas and the writer uses them.

* craft-drawingml: extra named theme colours and explicit tint rows

Ported from the format part of storytold/deckcraft#1746 by @jagjordi: ColorScheme::{extra, tints,
computed_tints}, ExtraColor, GalleryVariant, variants_of, and the a:clrScheme extension that
keeps them in a file.

* drawingml xmlx: copy only used, bounded namespace declarations onto kept fragments and mc branches

From storytold/deckcraft#1740 (988a4920), which landed after the extraction commit 60f91f78.

* Add craft-pptx: the PresentationML model (from DeckCraft)

Presentation, masters, layouts, slides, shapes, placeholders, media,
comments, sections, show settings, properties, embedded fonts, kept parts
and drawing guides from DeckCraft's crates/model/src/lib.rs, and
transitions and animations from anim.rs. The DrawingML types come from
craft-drawingml. The placeholder matching from DeckCraft's resolve.rs
moves as placeholder::parents, without the rest of resolve.

Presentation::default() is now an empty 16:9 deck with no masters; the
starting deck stays with the application.

* craft-pptx: the reader (from DeckCraft), on craft-opc and craft-drawingml

DeckCraft's crates/pptx reader (read.rs, read/shapes.rs and the chart
frame code of read/chart.rs) moved onto craft-opc's Package and
craft-xml trees, with the DrawingML readers of craft-drawingml behind a
part::Source over the import state. What DeckCraft took from its own
defaults (a master for a file without one, the theme of a master that
names none) comes from a caller-supplied Defaults; Plain is the neutral
one. Placeholder geometry inheritance uses placeholder::parents.

Transitions, animations, notes and comments follow in later changes.

* craft-pptx: drop DeckCraft issue numbers from reader comments

* craft-pptx: link the package budgets from the tag budget's doc

* craft-pptx: the writer (from DeckCraft)

DeckCraft's crates/pptx writer (write.rs, write/shapes.rs and the kept
chart parts of write/chart.rs) moved onto craft-opc's PackageOut and
craft-xml's Writer, with craft-drawingml's DrawingML writers behind a
part::Sink over the export state. What DeckCraft took from its own
defaults (a master for a deck without one, master and default text
styles, its name in docProps/app.xml and in table style names) comes
from Defaults. export and export_as take the defaults.

Transitions, animations, notes slides and comments follow in later
changes.

* craft-pptx: transitions and animations (from DeckCraft)

DeckCraft's read/timing.rs, write/timing.rs and maps.rs on craft-xml:
p:transition with the PowerPoint 2010+ effects, and p:timing flattened
into anim::Animation on reading and built back on writing, with the
media settings of the timing tree.

* craft-pptx: speaker notes and comments (from DeckCraft)

Notes slides and comments (the modern threaded part with its authors,
and the flattened legacy part) on reading and writing, as DeckCraft's
read.rs and write.rs had them. DeckCraft's comments.rs and notes.rs
integration tests come along, on a shared tests/common module.

* craft-pptx: say why the comment GUID seeds keep their name

craft-pptx

PresentationML (ECMA-376 part 1, chapter 19): what a .pptx presentation holds, as plain Rust types with serde. The DrawingML inside it (fills, lines, text bodies, tables, charts, themes) comes from craft-drawingml.

Item What Markup
Presentation slide size, masters, slides, sections, custom shows, show settings, header and footer, properties, media, embedded fonts, table styles, tags, kept parts, drawing guides p:presentation, docProps/*, p:viewPr
Master, Layout theme, shapes, background, title/body/other text styles, colour map p:sldMaster, p:sldLayout
Slide shapes, background, transition, animations, notes, comments, colour map override p:sld, p:notes, comments parts
Shape, ShapeKind shapes, pictures, groups, connectors, tables, charts, media, ink, 3-D models, and objects kept as XML p:sp, p:pic, p:grpSp, p:cxnSp, p:graphicFrame, p:contentPart
Placeholder, PhType, placeholder placeholders and the rule that matches a slide placeholder to its layout and master parents p:ph
anim transitions and the flat list of animations the timing tree stands for, with the effect catalogues p:transition, p:timing

Ids (ShapeId, LayoutId, MasterId, and MediaId, SlideId from craft-drawingml) are unique across a presentation; Presentation::alloc_id hands out fresh ones and refuses once they run out. Presentation::default() is an empty 16:9 deck with no masters: an application adds its own starting masters and layouts.

Reading

import(bytes, &defaults) reads a .pptx, .potx or .ppsx into a Presentation, on craft-opc for the package and craft-drawingml for the DrawingML. It is lenient: unknown parts are skipped, a malformed part is logged and left out, and a slide the presentation lists but the package lacks is left out and named by import_checked. Everything is bounded: entries, part and package sizes, inflate work, XML depth and nodes, shapes per part, group nesting, chart points and decoded chart bytes, kept chart parts, and add-in tag bytes (MAX_TAG_BYTES).

What the file leaves out comes from the caller's Defaults: the master for a file without a readable one, and the theme of a master that names none. Plain has no application's look in it. import_theme reads the theme of a .thmx, or of a presentation's first master. sniff tells a package from other bytes.

Writing

export(&presentation, &defaults) writes a package PowerPoint opens without repair; export_as writes a .potx or .ppsx instead. Masters, layouts and slides with their shapes, pictures, media, tables and table styles, charts (an unchanged chart's workbook and other parts written back), SmartArt, 3-D models, ink (as freeform lines), objects kept as XML (with their parts), notes and handout masters, sections, custom shows, show settings, drawing guides, embedded fonts, tags, kept parts and document properties. A slide whose layout is missing goes on the first one; a presentation with no master gets the caller's. Defaults also gives the text styles written where a master or the presentation has none, and the program name for docProps/app.xml.

Transitions (p:transition, with the PowerPoint 2010 and later effects) and animations (p:timing, flattened into anim::Animation on reading and built back into the timing tree on writing, with media volume and playback settings) are read and written.

Speaker notes (p:notes, text with its formatting) and comments are read and written. Comments go out twice, as PowerPoint writes them: the modern threaded part (p188:, with replies and the resolved state) and the flattened legacy part with its authors; on reading, a slide's modern part wins over its legacy copy.
