 # Introduction
 
 Welcome to `posterdown` ! This is my attempt to provide a semi-smooth workflow for those who wish to take their `RMarkdown` skills to the conference world. Many creature comforts from `RMarkdown` are available in this package such as `Markdown` section notation, figure captioning, and even citations like this one [@holden_identifying_2012] The rest of this example poster will show how you can insert typical conference poster features into your own document.

 There is still **A LOT** of work to do on this package which include (but are note limited to): 
 
-- Better softcoding for front end user options in YAML such as `posterwidth: 45in`.
+- Better softcoding for front end user options in YAML
 - Images in the title section for logo placement which is a common attribut to posters as far as I have come to know.
 - Figure out compatiability with `natbib` which wasn't working during the initial set up.
 - MUCH BETTER PACKAGE DOCUMENTATION. For example, there is nothing in the README...
 - Include References section only if initiated by the user like in RMarkdown.
