Letters
############################################################
You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and
business. The letter document class is designed to make a
number of letters at once, although you can make just one if
you so desire.
Your `.tex' source file has the same minimum commands as the
other document classes, i.e., you must have the following
commands as a minimum:
\documentclass{letter}
\begin{document}
... letters ...
\end{document}
Each letter is a letter environment, whose argument is the
name and address of the recipient. For example, you might
have:
\begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
\\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
...
\end{letter}
The letter itself begins with the \opening command. The text
of the letter follows. It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input.
Commands that make no sense in a letter, like \chapter, do not
work. The letter closes with a \closing command.
After the closing, you can have additional material. The \cc
command produces the usual "cc: ...". There's also a similar
\encl command for a list of enclosures. With both these commands,
use \\ to separate the items.
These commands are used with the letter class:
\address: Your return address.
\cc: Cc list.
\closing: Saying goodbye.
\encl: List of enclosed material.
\location: Your organisation's address.
\makelabels: Making address labels.
\name: Your name, for the return address.
\opening: Saying hello.
\ps: Adding a postscript.
\signature: Your signature.
\startbreaks: Allow page breaks.
\stopbreaks: Disallow page breaks.
\telephone: Your phone number.
############################################################
\address ::address::
############################################################
\address{Return address}
The return address, as it should appear on the letter and the
envelope. Separate lines of the address should be separated
by \\ commands. If you do not make an \address declaration,
then the letter will be formatted for copying onto your
organisation's standard letterhead. (See section Overview of
LaTeX and Local Guide, for details on your local implementation).
If you give an \address declaration, then the letter will be
formatted as a personal letter.
############################################################
\cc ::cc::
############################################################
\cc{Kate Schechter\\Rob McKenna}
Generate a list of other persons the letter was sent to. Each
name is printed on a separate line.
############################################################
\closing ::closing::
############################################################
\closing{text}
The letter closes with a \closing command, i.e.,
\closing{Best Regards,}
\encl
\encl{CV\\Certificates}
Generate a list of enclosed material.
############################################################
\location ::location::
############################################################
\location{address}
This modifies your organisation's standard address. This
only appears if the firstpage pagestyle is selected.
############################################################
\makelabels ::makelabels::
############################################################
\makelabels{number}
If you issue this command in the preamble, LaTeX will create
a sheet of address labels. This sheet will be output before
the letters.
############################################################
\name ::name::
############################################################
\name{June Davenport}
Your name, used for printing on the envelope together with
the return address.
############################################################
\opening ::opening::
############################################################
\opening{text}
The letter begins with the \opening command. The mandatory
argument, text, is whatever text you wish to start your
letter, i.e.,
\opening{Dear Joe,}
############################################################
\ps ::ps::
############################################################
\ps
Use this command before a postscript.
############################################################
\signature ::sinature::
############################################################
\signature{Harvey Swick}
Your name, as it should appear at the end of the letter
underneath the space for your signature. Items that should
go on separate lines should be separated by \\ commands.
############################################################
\startbreaks ::startbreaks::
############################################################
\startbreaks
Used after a \stopbreaks command to allow page breaks again.
############################################################
\stopbreaks ::stopbreaks::
############################################################
\stopbreaks
Inhibit page breaks until a \startbreaks command occurs.
############################################################
\telephone ::telephone::
############################################################
\telephone{number}
This is your telephone number. This only appears if the
firstpage pagestyle is selected.
