Use case

A white paper that reads like research

The White Paper template gives you abstract, introduction, background, method, findings, discussion, conclusion and references. The Editorial theme adds a warm canvas and a sienna accent that stops the document feeling corporate.

What the template gives you

  • Cover page (centered variant) with title, author and date.
  • ToC after the cover, generated from H1 / H2 / H3.
  • Numbered headings.
  • References section at the end — a placeholder format you can extend.
  • Page numbers bottom-center on every body page.

Why the Editorial theme

A white paper is read, not skimmed. The Editorial theme uses a slightly larger body size and a longer line-height than Minimal, which makes 6-8 pages of dense prose easier on the eye. The warm ivory canvas and sienna accent on H1 / H2 stop the document from feeling like a marketing brief.

Structure that holds up

  • Abstract — 4-6 sentences. State the question, the method, the finding, the implication. Do not bury the result.
  • Introduction — why is the question worth asking now?
  • Background — enough that an adjacent-field reader can follow.
  • Method — specific enough that a peer could reproduce it.
  • Findings — H2 per finding. Lead with the result.
  • Discussion — what the findings do and do not mean.
  • Conclusion + references.
