jscarlton / letterhead Goto Github PK

Here's my Pandoc letterhead template, adapted from Scott Hartley. Requires the IISG logo and a copy of Stuart's signature to be placed in a support-file directory. It also requires Fira Sans and ETBembo fonts, both of which are available for free (as in freedom).

See test.markdown for an example letter file and test.pdf for example output. The important part is the metadata block in the beginning and the letter header.

Here's the metadata block:

---
size: 11pt
sig:
 include: yes
 sign: yes
 post: yes
cc:
---

Size is the font size. 11pt is pretty good, 12 starts to get a bit big.

There are several signature options in the sig chunk. Each of these can be turned off by leaving them blank or turned on by adding any text to the line.

• include: should the signature block (i.e., the "Sincerely", signature image, and job title) be included?
• sign: should the signature image be included?
• post: should my job title printed after my name?

cc: any text here will be rendered in a cc line at the end of the letter.

Here's the header: \today

| Someone
| 123 Some St.
| Anywhere, IN 12345

\today prints today's date and the lines prefaced with | create the address block for the recipient.
