yodlletter(7) Your Own Document Language yodlletter(7) NAME yodlletter - Yodl's `letter' document type SYNOPSIS letter(language)(date)(subject)(opening)(salutation)(author) The letter document type was implemented to write LaTeX letters. DESCRIPTION The letter document type was specifically implemented to write LaTeX let- ters, using LaTeX's brief.cls document class. It is available only for the LaTeX (yodl2latex(1)) converter. This manual page briefly describes Yodl's letter document type. This doc- ument type is specific enough that it warrants a separate manpage. letter documents do not allow you to use the `standard' sectioning commands (e.g., sect() and subsect()). You can, however, use macros that are nor- mally used within such sections, such as description(), itemization(), bf() or em(). Several specific macros, to be used in the preamble, are available for the letter document type. They are: o AfourEnlarged(): Enlarges the usable height of A4 paper by 2 cm.: the top margin is reduced by 2 cm. o letteraddenda(type)(value): Adds an addendum at the end of a letter. type should be bijlagen (i.e., appendices), cc or ps. Use nl() within the value section if multiple addenda of a certain type are used. o letteradmin(yourdate)(yourref): Puts yourletterfrom and yourrefer- ence elements in the letter. If left empty, two dashes are inserted. o letterfootitem(name)(value): Puts a footer at the bottom of let- ter-pages. Up to three will usually fit. For example, o letterreplyto(name)(address)(zip city): Defines the `reply to' ad- dress. o letterto(element): Adds element as an additional line to the address of the addressee. Use one element for each line of the addressee's address. Up to five lines will usually fit. A sixth line may be squeezed in, if necessary. The letter) macro itself requires the following arguments: o language: select english, dutch, or another language supported by the babel.sty style; o date: the letter's date. Use your own date-convention. The text specified here will be used as the letter's date; o subject: a short indication as to why you wrote the letter o opening: the letter's opening, e.g., Dear Linus,; o salutation: the letter's closing phrase, e.g., Kind regards,; o author: the name of the letter's author. nl() macros can be used here, but the brief class will also restrict the width of the au- thor-lines by itself.
