  Composing letters using org-mode and scrlttr2
  
* opening
  Dear Org-Mode Users

* body
  Lately, I have been composing formal letters using KOMA script's
  scrlttr2. I find it convenient to have them composed auto-magically
  from within org-mode.
  
  I am enclosing the initial set of changes needed to compose some
  simple letters as this one.
  
  The only change that is too 'intrusive' seems to be an extra newline
  which gets added immediately after the emission of labels. These
  extra newlines trigger syntax errors in the closing{} and encl{}
  directives.
  
  I think rest of the changes could be squeeed in through existing
  hooks.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
-	  (insert (mapconcat (lambda (l) (format "\\label{%s}" l))
-			     label-list "\n") "\n"))
+	    (insert (mapconcat (lambda (l) (format "\\label{%s}" l))
+			       label-list "\n")))
#+END_EXAMPLE 
  
  If there is some general interest, I could work on making a formal
  patch available.

  Patch from my work-area.

  Jambunathan,
  
  I would be interested in such capabilities. I would like to see a sample PDF 
  output so that I can see the desired output.
  
  Also, I think it will be useful to see what documents (PDF versions) others 
  have produced using org-mode and HTML or LATeX. Perhaps this can go on the Worg 
  site.

  Hi Jambunathan,
  
  I would also be interested in generating business quality letters from
  org-mode.  Currently I'm falling back to other applications to
  accomplish this efficiently.

  Bernt

  With reference to my earlier post,
  (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-07/msg01060.html)
  
  I would like to add the following clarification.
  
  
  > #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper,parskip=full,backaddress=off,foldmarks=off,jambu]
  
  All the styling and context-specific information comes from 'jambu' in
  the LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS line. In this case, jambu is 'an lco file'
  that in turn loads DIN.lco. (The later file comes with the standard
  distribution)
  
  The patch as such doesn't bother with the styling elements but merely
  transforms content from org to scrlttr2 form. To illustrate,
  
  * subject
    Composing letters using org-mode and scrlttr2
    
  section in org gets transformed in the final letter into the following
  TeX form.
  
  \setkomavar{subject} {
  \label{sec-2}
    Sub:- Composing letters using org-mode and scrlttr2
    
  }
  
  This is done as part of org-scrlttr2-sectioning defun in my earlier
  patch.

    Hi Jambunathan,
    
    This looks very useful, and the output of scrlttr2 looks great.  I think
    two things can be done to make this more accessible to the wider
    Org-mode community.
    
    First it seems (as you mentioned) like the bulk of your changes can be
    implemented without any change to the Org-mode core, but rather by using
    existing hooks (e.g. removing newlines in `org-export-latex-final-hook'
    and defining a scrlttr2 class in `org-export-latex-classes').
    
    Second, a set of step-by-step instructions documenting how to generate a
    letter from an Org-mode file using your patch would make this much more
    approachable and would make a good addition to Worg.
    
    I look forward to trying this out.
    
    Thanks -- Eric
