About INBOmd
Institutional report templates where a missing metadata field watermarks the whole document.
INBOmd supplies R Markdown output formats — PDF, gitbook, EPUB — carrying the house style and colophon requirements of INBO, the Flemish nature and forest research institute. Its distinguishing design decision is enforcement by embarrassment: an incomplete colophon stamps a watermark across every page until the required fields are filled in. Recent releases are small corrections, with the substantive template work sitting several years back.
