I accomplished this by using yasnippet and Org-mode. It is quite
convenient :-)
1. install, configure, and learn yasnippet for your Emacs
- a must; independent of this one here!
2. put «newletter» (below) into your snippet directory so that it can be
invoked when you're in a Org-mode buffer
- usually, this means storing as something similar to
«~/.emacs.d/snippets/text-mode/org-mode/newletter»
- adopt my dummy entries for your name, address, and so forth
So far for the initial setup.
3. create a new (empty) folder
4. enter the new folder
5. create and open a new Org-mode file in Emacs
- it is only temporary
- you might want to use «emacsclient init.org»
6. within this open Emacs buffer, type «newletter» followed by TAB
- this invokes the yasnippet template
7. fill out all fields, take default values or change them, switch to
the next field by using TAB
8. when you end up at the line «cat >Kopf.tex <<EOF»: press C-c C-c
in order to get the template generated
9. exit the temporary Org-mode buffer
- you can even delete the Org-mode file now that the template was generated
10. start typing your letter within «letter.tex» and compile with «make
pdf» as you want
This is the file «newletter»:
- please do exclude my email signature below :-)
- please note that the Makefile requires tabstops before each
indented command line - probably you have to fix this once
while creating «newletter»
