| # 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. |
|
|
| ```typ |
| = Agenda |
| - Results for Q3 |
| - Plans for Q4 |
| |
| = Results for Q3 |
| == Revenue |
| 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. |
|
|
| ```typ |
| #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 `=`. |
