A method for converting a presentation file to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), the method comprising:

• a computer receiving a command to convert one or more presentation slides to a DITA document, wherein the one or more presentation slides to be converted have been tagged with metadata corresponding to topic type and grouped graphical element file names;
• responsive to receiving the command to convert one or more presentation slides to a DITA document, the computer compiling information from the presentation slide, the information selected from the group consisting of the metadata tags, text in the presentation slide, text in a notes section of the presentation slide, and grouped graphical element file names from a first presentation slide of the one or more presentation slides into a string parsed with DITA markup;
• the computer accessing the metadata tags for a second presentation slide and determining whether the second presentation slide is a new topic;

• and
• responsive to determining that the second presentation slide is a new topic, the computer converting the string parsed with DITA markup to a DITA topic defined by the metadata in the presentation slide.
