betterland main_findings margin

[malalwan1]

Hi Brent,

I'm trying to adjust the margins of the poster but there is nothing in the guide about it. For the main findings section, I'm trying to make it start a little bit higher (i.e., decrease the margin). Is there a way to do that?
Also, is there a way to increase the margin of the body sections.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Brent,

Thanks for creating/maintaining this wonderful package!

I wanted to second @malalwan1's question/request: is there a way to change the top margin size of the main findings section?

Thank you!

Hi @malalwan1 and @abrowman,

I ran into the same issue and ended up making the change myself in a forked version of the repository (https://github.com/stefanvermeent/posterdown).
After forking the repository, you can navigate to inst/rmarkdown/templates/posterdown_betterland/resources/template.html
There, on line 265-269, you will find the following code:

.main p {
padding-top: 20%;
font-size: $if(main_textsize)$$main_textsize$$else$170px$endif$;
text-align: left;
}

changing 'padding-top' to 0% removes the padding at the top of the main section.

Best wishes,
Stefan Vermeent
