+      <p>The <b>rclppt</b> filter was based on <b>catppt</b>, but this
+        seems to fail quite often on newer PPT
+        documents. The new version is based on code from
+        the <b>libreoffice</b> <b>mso-dump</b> project. It is both
+        reasonably fast and quite thorough.

+      <p>Installation:<ul>
+          <li>As <tt>recollindex</tt> was executing <b>catppt</b>
+            directly in the default configuration, you will also need to add
+            the following to
+            the <tt>mimeconf</tt> file (e.g.: ~/.recoll/mimeconf):
+<pre>
+  [index]
+  application/vnd.ms-powerpoint = exec rclppt
+</pre>
+</li>
+          <li>Copy the 3 following files to the Recoll filters directory (e.g:
+            <i>/usr/share/recoll/filters</i>) and make sure
+            that <tt>ppt-dump.py</tt> and <tt>rclppt</tt> are executable.
