Build your intitial architecture for your new NOAA Tech Memo or Report

buildReport(
  sections = c("abstract", "introduction", "methods", "results", "discussion",
    "endmatter", "presentation"),
  report_authors = "",
  report_title = "",
  styles_reference_pptx = "refppt_nmfs",
  styles_reference_docx = "refdoc_noaa_tech_memo",
  bibliography.bib = "bib_example",
  csl = "bulletin-of-marine-science"
)

Arguments

sections: a string of the different sections of your report. Sections must be listed in order. Default = c("frontmatter", "abstract", "introduction", "methods", "results", "discussion", "endmatter"). Note that "frontmatter" and "endmatter" both have specific templates, and all others are from a blank template. "endmatter" will document all of your citations throughout the report, the R packages you used to create this report. I'm biased, but please give credit where credit is due! There are also spots here to list authors's ORCID and acknowlegelments.
report_authors: Default = "". Here, add all author's first and last name as it should appear in the report.You can change this later by editing this in the run.R file.
report_title: Default = "". Here, put the title of your report. You can change this later by editing this in the run.R file.
styles_reference_pptx: A style reference guide from a powerpoint document (.pptx). This pulls the styles from a powerpoint document where you have defined each style. Either use NULL to not have a presentation, a local document (insert full path to local document), or a pre-made templates ("refppt_nmfs"). Default = "refppt_nmfs". You can change this later by renaming the file in the code folder.
styles_reference_docx: A style reference guide from a word document (.docx). This pulls the styles from a word document where you have defined each style. Either use a local document (insert full path to local document) or some of the pre-made templates ("refdoc_noaa_tech_memo" or "refdoc_fisheries_economics_of_the_us"). Default = "refdoc_noaa_tech_memo". You can change this later by renaming the file in the code folder.
bibliography.bib: Either use a local document (.bib format; insert full "path") or the example file from the package ("bib_example"). Default = "bib_example". You can change this later by renaming the file in the cite folder.
csl: Citation style. Either use a local document (insert full path to local document) or some of the pre-made templates ("bulletin-of-marine-science"). A NOAA TM citation style needs to be created, but until then, the default = "bulletin-of-marine-science". You can change this later by renaming the file in the cite folder.
