If you nevertheless want to try it, but are irritated by its way +of vertically-shifting a single-page letter, try the following hack: +<pre> +\makeatletter +\let\@texttop\relax +\makeatother +</pre> +in the preamble of your file. +<p>Doing-it-yourself is a common strategy; Knuth (for use with plain +TeX, in the TeXbook), and Kopka and Daly (in their Guide to +LaTeX) offer worked examples. +<p>Nevertheless, there <em>are</em> contributed alternatives - in fact +there are an awfully large number of them: the following list, of +necessity, makes but a small selection. +<p>The largest, most comprehensive, class is <i>newlfm</i>; the <code>lfm</code> +part of the name implies that the class can create letters, faxes and +memoranda. The documentation is voluminous, and the package seems +very flexible. +<p>Axel Kielhorn's <i>akletter</i> class is the only other one, +recommended for inclusion in this FAQ, whose documentation is +available in English. +<p>The <i>dinbrief</i> class, while recommended, is only documented in +German. +<p>There are letter classes in each of the excellent +<i>KOMA-script</i> (<i>scrlttr2</i>: documentation is available in +English) and <i>ntgclass</i> (<i>brief</i>: documentation in Dutch +only) bundles. While these are probably good (since the bundles +themselves inspire trust) they've not been specifically recommended by +any users. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>akletter.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/akletter.zip">macros/latex/contrib/akletter</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/akletter.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/akletter/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>brief.cls</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>dinbrief.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dinbrief.zip">macros/latex/contrib/dinbrief</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dinbrief.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dinbrief/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>newlfm.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/newlfm.zip">macros/latex/contrib/newlfm</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/newlfm.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/newlfm/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>scrlttr2.cls</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=letterclass">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=letterclass</a> +</body> |
