Improve report template

[jmaupetit]

Purpose

The idea is to make the report template a little bit more pretty. We think that Overleaf is a good source for inspiration: https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/report.

A report is a document that contains information about a project of any kind (thesis, internship, milestone, etc.). We would like to have the following information:

• title
• date
• version
• (optionally) reporter name(s)
• (optionally) institution name

The report template could add a first-page like this one, and then leave the rest of the document "as is" (with a reader-friendly font). It is just an example of what could be done ;-)

Proposal

The code of this template is here: app/components/Templates/Report.jsx. It is a React JSX component that owns its style and metadata (extra variables). We would like to improve its current look but we don't have many expectation except to make it more useful and nice. It is quite subjective, but we are open to any suggestion as @jmaupetit said in his comment below.

Cheers!

Or maybe we could get rid of it? We don't use it actually..

Hi @willdurand @jmaupetit,
Could you please explain a bit more about the issue? I did not get the context properly.

[willdurand]

Hi @hkasera! I will describe this issue more extensively today, so that you can better understand its purpose. I will keep you informed, thanks for your interest!

[jmaupetit]

Hi @hkasera! Thank you for willing to contribute. So, here is the context: Monod as a few templates to easily generate everyday documents like letters, invoices or even presentations (see the section 2 and 3 of the upcoming new documentation).

This issue concerns the report template. Our first intent was to remove this template, since we don't use it at TailorDev. But, if you think this template can be useful, please let us know, and why not submit a PR!

In brief, a template is a React component; you will find them here. If you want to improve the report template, you will find layout / design inspiration here.

Please let us know if something appears unclear to you.

HTH.
