Boardroom templates

Corporate business documents: reports, memos, letters and 16:9 slide decks. Sans-serif text, navy headings and accents, light grey-blue rules.

Templates

• Report (report): longer business reports. Parameters: title (default "Title"), subtitle (none), author (none), date (today, e.g. "5 March 2026"). Prints a title block (navy bar, title, subtitle, author · date) on page 1; from page 2 a header with title and date. Footer "page / total". Headings are numbered 1.1.
• Memo (memo): short internal messages. Parameters: to ("Recipient"), from ("Sender"), subject ("Subject"), date (today). Prints "MEMO" and a To / From / Date / Subject block with a navy rule under it. Headings are not numbered.
• Letter (letter): formal letters. Parameters: sender ([Your name \ Street 1 \ City]), recipient ([Recipient \ Street 2 \ City]), subject ("Subject"), date (today), closing ("Kind regards,"), name ("Your name"). Prints sender (right), recipient, date, bold subject, then the body, then the closing and the name.
• Slide deck (slides): 16:9 presentations. Parameters: title ("Title"), subtitle (none), author (none), date (today). The first slide is a navy title slide made from these parameters. Every slide has a footer with the title and the slide number.

Writing a page

The template already sets: page size and margins, font and size, justified paragraphs (not in slides), navy headings with spacing, tables with thin grey-blue borders and a bold first row, and the title block, memo header or letter frame.

Report: use = for chapters, == and === below them; numbering is automatic.

Memo: write the message directly; use == or = only if the memo needs sections.

Letter: write only the letter text, starting with the salutation ("Dear ...,"). The date, subject, closing and name come from the parameters.

Slide deck:

• Each = Heading starts a new slide; the heading is the slide title (30pt, navy).
• == Heading is a smaller subheading inside the current slide.
• Content after a = heading belongs to that slide until the next =. Text that does not fit flows onto an extra page without a title, so keep each slide to a few bullets.
• Do not create a title slide; it is generated from the parameters.

Revenue grew by 12 % year on year.

Plain markup works everywhere: paragraphs, - lists, + numbered lists, *bold*, _italic_, #table(...) (first row is the header, bolded automatically), #figure(..., caption: [...]), #image(...).

Helpers

This add-on has no content helpers; use plain Typst markup.

Values a page may use:

• today: today's date as text, e.g. "5 March 2026".
• Colours, only when something must be coloured: brand (navy, headings and accents), ink (body text), quiet (grey secondary text), soft (light grey-blue lines). sans is the font list.

#text(fill: brand)[*Decision:*] approve the Q4 budget.

Do not

• Do not add #set page, #set text, #set par or font changes; the template sets them.
• Do not use your own colours (rgb(...), blue, ...); use brand, quiet, ink or soft only when something must be coloured.
• Do not build your own boxes, banners or callouts with block, rect or box.
• Do not remove or edit the template header between // znote:template and // znote:end.
• Do not write the title, subtitle, author, date, memo fields, addresses, closing or signature name in the body; they come from the parameters.
• Do not number headings by hand. In slides do not use #pagebreak() to start slides; use =.
