Reporting Workflows

Report Sections

Ordered Blocks

A generated report is easier to assemble when each section has a clear title and body text before rendering.

Program

Play the script to choose how many sections are included in a report outline.

outline Report assembly can start from vectors of section titles and body snippets.
seq_len `seq_len(section_count)` creates the selected section positions.
section `paste(chosen_titles, chosen_bodies, sep = ":")` builds one display block per section.
