+<h1><font size="-2">Hypertext Help with LaTeX</font><br><font color="#cc0000">Letters</font></h1>
+ You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and business. The
+ letter document style is designed to make a number of letters at once,
+ although you can make just one if you so desire.
+<p>
+ Your *.tex source file has the same
+ <a href="input.html#structure">minimum commands</a> as the other
+ document styles, i.e., you must have the following commands as a
+ minimum:
+<pre>
+ <tt>\documentstyle{letter}
+ <a href="ltx-315.html">\signature{Your Name}</a>
+ <a href="ltx-93.html">\address{Return address}</a>
+ \begin{document}
+ ... First letter ...
+ ... Second letter ...
+ ...
+ \end{document}</tt>
+</pre>
+Note that the <tt>\address</tt> and <tt>\signature</tt> commands are
+<a href="declarations.html">declarations</a> and follow the usual
+scope rules. They are generally placed in the preamble, as indicated here,
+and apply to all letters in the file.
+<p>
+ Each letter is a letter <a href="ltx-27.html">environment</a>,
+ whose argument is the name and
+ address of the recipient. For example, a typical letter might have<pre>
+ <tt>\begin{letter}{Mr. John Doe \\ 2345 Jones St.
+ \\ Oakland, CA 91123}
+ <a href="ltx-97.html">\opening{Dear John,}</a>
+ ...
+ text of letter
+ ...
+ <a href="ltx-98.html">\closing{Best regards,}</a>
+ \end{letter}</tt>
+</pre>
+ The letter itself begins with the
+ <a href="ltx-97.html"><tt>\opening</tt></a> command. The text of the
+ letter follows. It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input. Commands that
+ make no sense in a letter, like <tt>\chapter,</tt> don't work. The letter
+ closes with a
+ <a href="ltx-98.html"><tt>\closing</tt></a> command.
+<h2>Closing matter</h2>
+ Several commands may be used after the <tt>\closing</tt> command:
+<ul>
+<li><tt>\ps{PS text}</tt> command produces a "P.S."
+<li><tt>\cc{text}</tt> command produces the usual "cc: text".
+<li><tt>\encl{list of enclosures}</tt> command produces an "encl:" list
+</ul>
+<h2>Date</h2>
+The <a href="ltx-330.html"><tt>\today</tt></a> command is used by the
+letter <a href="ltx-22.html">document style</a> to generate the date.
+If you wish a fixed date, rather than the current date, you should use<pre>
+ <tt><a href="ltx-18.html">\renewcommand</a>{\today}{Month day, year}</tt>
+</pre>
+This may be put in the preamble if it is to apply to all letters in the
+file, or just before the <tt>\opening</tt> command if it is to apply to
+just that letter.
