The use of R Markdown and R Notebook for documenting processes, experiments and for writing reports has continued to grow in the last 5+ years. This is exciting, as more and more companies are also starting to adapt it for bookkeeping purposes. However, the available R markdown templates are not well-suited for professional reports and displays. Therefore, the purpose of the sciRmdTheme package is to provide more tools to help data analytists, scientists and writers in drafting professional R markdown pages.
