3.4 Outline Text
The outline text can be displayed visually, as shown in the figure titled "Outline text" in section 3.1. The records used to construct the outline text are found inside the SlideListWithTextContainer record (section 2.4.14.3) contained within the DocumentContainer record (section 2.4.1). The child-record hierarchy of the DocumentContainer record S from the table titled "Top-level record sequence in the PowerPoint Document Stream from sample.ppt" in section 3.3 is shown expanded in the following table.

Figure 27: SlideListWithTextContainer child-record hierarchy
The character content of the outline text is derived from the TextBytesAtom records labeled B, D, F, H, J, L, N, and P in the previous table titled "SlideListWithTextContainer child-record hierarchy". The TextHeaderAtom records labeled A, C, E, G, I, K, M, and O that precede the TextBytesAtom records indicate the type of text content as specified by the textType field and the TextTypeEnum. These values can be used to organize the text into logical outline levels, where title placeholder shape text is a top-level outline item and body placeholder shape text is a subordinate outline item.
The detailed structures of records A through P in the previous table titled "SlideListWithTextContainer child-record hierarchy" are shown in the following tables. Non-printable character content in TextBytesAtom records has been replaced with "\t", "\n", "\v", or "\r" where applicable.
The first line of the outline text as shown in the figure titled "Outline text" in section 3.1 is derived from records A and B, which are shown expanded in the following tables.
