\begin{abstract}
  In opposite to the standard letter class, the \KOMAScript{} letter class
  \file{scrlttr2} and the \KOMAScript{} letter package \file{scrletter} do not
  provide generation of a label page using \cs[no-index]{makelabels}. But
  \KOMAScript{} provides the option to add new letter features using LCO
  files. \file{makelabels.lco} is such a LCO file. It provides
  \cs[no-index]{makelabels} similar to the standard letter class. The new
  \cs[no-index]{makelabels} has a yet very rudimentary configurability but
  much more than the standard letter class provides. However, it is also as
  much compatible as needed that packages like
  \href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/enlab}{\file{envlab}} can be used. From
  version 1.0 \file{makelabels.lco} is implemented using
  \href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/l3kernel}{\file{expl3}}.

%
% \section{Installation}
%
% It is recommended to use the package installer of the \TeX{}
% distribution. If you don't use a \TeX{} distribution with package installer,
% that provides \file{makelabels.lco}, please see the advanced installation
% information in the
% \href{https://github.com/komascript/makelabels/blob/main/README.md}%
% {\file{README.md}}.
%
% \section{Basic Usage}
%
% First of all please note, that \file{makelabels.lco} needs \LaTeX{} from
% version 2020/10/01. It is recommended to use at least \LaTeX{} 2021/06/01,
% because this is the \LaTeX{} version used for development of
% \file{makelabels.lco}. Also \KOMAScript{} version 3.34 or newer is
% recommended. If you would use an older \KOMAScript{} version you would do
% this on your own risk. Please do not expect any support in this
% case.
%
% To use the \file{makelabels.lco} you have to use either \KOMAScript{}
% letter class \file{scrlttr2} or \file{scrletter} or the \KOMAScript{}
% letter package \file{scrletter}. After loading the class resp. package you
% have to load \file{makelabels.lco} using:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \LoadLetterOption{makelabels}
% \end{verbatim}
% in your document preamble. Note: This LCO cannot be loaded after
% |\begin{document}|.
%
% Loading the LCO file already activates generation of label information
% inside the \file{aux}-file of your document. Nothing else.
%
% \DescribeMacro\makelabels
% To activate the label generation you have to add
% \begin{verbatim}
% \makelabels
% \end{verbatim}
% to your document preamble after loading \file{makelabels.lco} (see
% above). Now at the end of the document, after printing all letters
% \file{makelabels} generates one or more additional sheets with address
% labels. The default label sheet is of type Avery~5162. This is a label sheet
% with seven rows and two columns of labels. It is compatible with several
% other Avery label types.
%
% \DescribeMacro\selectlabeltype
% If you need more than one label per letter or another label type you can use:
% \begin{syntax}
% \cs{selectlabeltype}\oarg{integer}\marg{string}
% \end{syntax}
% This selects \meta{integer} labels of type \meta{string} for each following
% letter (inclusive the current letter, if used between |\begin{letter}| and
% |\end{letter}|. See \autoref{tab:labeltypes} for the allowed \meta{string}
% arguments and the corresponding label types.

%
% \DescribeMacro\makelabels_add_label_type:nn
% Advanced users can add their own label sheet definitions. But currently
% there is only an \file{expl3} interface for this. If you do not know
% \file{expl3}, please stop reading. There is no support for this feature,
% currently.
% \begin{syntax}
%   \cs{makelabels_add_label_type:nn} \meta{string}
%   \{
%     sheet height        = \meta{dim_1},
%     sheet width         = \meta{dim_2},
%     sheet top margin    = \meta{dim_3},
%     sheet bottom margin = \meta{dim_4},
%     sheet left margin   = \meta{dim_5},
%     sheet right margin  = \meta{dim_6},
%     vertical distance   = \meta{dim_7},
%     horizontal distance = \meta{dim_8},
%     label height        = \meta{dim_9},
%     label width         = \meta{dim_{10}},
%     label top margin    = \meta{dim_{11}},
%     label bottom margin = \meta{dim_{12}},
%     rows                = \meta{int_{1}},
%     columns             = \meta{int_{2}}
%   \}
% \end{syntax}
% Currently all \meta{dim_x}, which are not specified, will be 0\,pt and all
% \meta{int_x}, which are not specified, will be 1.
%
% The names of the properties should be self-explaining. If not, don't use it!
%
% Note: You can participate in the development of \file{makelabels.lco} by
% posting and explaining your own label specifications.
%
% \section{Simple Example}

% A very simple example for using \file{makelabels.lco} would be:

%   \label{fig:example}

%
% If you like, you could add an additional

% labels (7 rows by 2 columns).
%
% \section{Example using additional label packages}
% \label{sec:envlabexample}
% As already mentioned in the abstract you can use \file{makelabels.lco}
% together with package \href{https://ctan.org/pkg/envlab}{\file{envlab}}. In

%
% Please note: package \file{envlab} redefines macro |\@toaddressfont|, which
% is also an internal macro of \file{scrlttr2} or \file{scrletter}. The
% \KOMAScript{} classes resp. the \KOMAScript{} package uses this to store the
% font of the recipient's address. So loading \file{envlab} will change the
% font of the recipient's address. To avoid this you could use additional
% preamble code:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \makeatletter
% \AtBeginDocument{%
%   \immediate\write\@auxout{%
%     \string\def\string\@toaddressfont{%
%       \expandafter\detokenize\expandafter{\@toaddressfont}}}%
%   \setkomafont{toaddress}{}% set the recepient's address font
% }
% \makeatother
% \end{verbatim}
% This delays the \file{envlab}'s redefinition of |\@toaddressfont| until the
% \emph{labels} are generated.
