  FWIW:
  
  One format provided by Groff MM macros are business letters. It may not
  fit all types of communications, but it was the way business letters 
  written in Ma Bell for many years.
  
  Keep in mind that I'm still working on this code.  It is far from
  done.

* Org/LaTeX set-up for business letters?

Hi List, 

although using Emacs/Org-mode for almost everything, I still write my
"official" correspondence with a (quite nice) OpenOffice template. It
would be so much easier and faster to just use Org mode for that too.

I tried some LaTeX templates from the web, but they were ugly. I know
one could use the "Do It Yourself" approach, but I would rather save the
time and effort and like to ask if anybody on the list has a nice
looking Org-mode/ LaTeX setup for business letters and/or facturations
and doesn't mind to share it?

I found this interesting thread about the same topic:

`------------------------------------------------------------

but I could not figure out if it resulted in a kind of final setup that
is now used by some people and can be downloaded somewhere.

Thanks in advance

cheers,
Thorsten

  You can use opendocument export and use your Libreoffice template with
  it. Check the archives for Jambunathan's post detailing how to do
  that.

      Well I assumed it would be since you already have a "quite nice"
      OpenOffice template. If you are after latex templates for letters in
      specific, I think Org mode might be the wrong tool for that. The tree
      structure is a fundamental part of Org. This works very well for
      articles, reports, theses; however I'm not sure it works as well for
      letters. You might be better off by just using latex directly.
      
      That said, maybe you could look for a latex template on CTAN[1]. Then
      you could customise org-export-latex-classes to include the
      documentclass provided by the package. Although I'm not sure how a tree
      structure could be mapped to a letter.
      
      If you do succeed, I would be interested to know.

        It looks like a professional letter, while everything I found in the web
        rathers proves that programmers are not designers, even with a tool like
        LaTeX at hand.

        Thanks for the tips, but I don't have time for that at the moment and
        was rather hoping that somebody already did the work and likes to share.
        Of course this is not a LaTeX list, but it would be OK too to just have a
        nice LaTeX template and write with AucTeX, even if Org mode is not used
        (yet).

        Yes, part of KOMA (?), but thats rather low level if you have to design
        your own letters - and who knows all that stuff about professional letter
        design?. I tried that once and the result was ugly, there is a lot of
        extra work necesary to make it look fancy and modern.

          Letter styles may be very different from country to country.  Thus the
          LaTeX world knows various attempts to create templates for letters that
          comply with national standards and national fancy.  Just for the case
          that you are German, have a look at www.komascript.de and look for the
          examples from Markus Kohms KOMA-Script book.  There are several examples
          how to use the scrlttr2 class and how to tweak it to create an individual
          template.

            Yes, I'm German, and I've used komascript before, and that is definitely
            a  way to achieve what I want. 
            
            I'm just trying to repeat the nice experience I had with writing a
            modern CV in LaTeX - download a template, put in your data, and enjoy a
            beautifill CV (or letter) - actually much more beautiful than I would
            have ever managed to produce, and all that without hours or days of
            tweaking.
            
            But I probably should have a second look at the scrlttr2 class.
            Thanks for the tip.

              The way I see it, someone had to invest the time for you to have that
              smooth experience. Maybe no one did that for letters yet. Who knows, we
              could be using your template in the future. ;)

                When I start Emacs or use Org mode, my smooth experience depends very
                much on time invested by others (for me?). I know one should give back
                too, but it doesn't hurt to ask first what is there already.
                
                If I find (or make) a nice template, I will announce it ;)

                  A letter is no more than a header with the author, the date, the object
                  of the letter, perhaps the client's address and the content of the
                  letter.
                  
                  If you find a nice LaTeX class, it is quite straightforward to create a
                  derived LaTeX backend with ̀org-export-define-derived-backend' so that
                  you get a .tex file using that class and the correct instructions.
                  
                  I would use #+PROPERTY to define the necessary information such as 
                  your address, etc.

                    Good idea!

                    Another solution could be to create dedicated buffer keywords. With the
                    following:
                    
                    #+begin_src emacs-lisp
                    (org-export-define-derived-backend 'letter 'e-latex
                      :options-alist ((:address "ADDRESS" nil nil newline)
                                      (:destination "DESTINATION" nil nil newline)
                                      (:object "OBJECT"))
                      :translate-alist ((template . org-letter-template)))
                    #+end_src
                    
                    you can define an address with:
                    
                    #+begin_src org
                    #+ADDRESS: Free Software Foundation
                    #+ADDRESS: 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor
                    #+ADDRESS: Boston, MA 02110-1301
                    #+ADDRESS: USA
                    #+end_src
                    
                    and access it with (plist-get info :address) in `org-letter-template'.
                    
                    
                    Regards,

                I attach 3 variations of the same template, I used the one from TRAVIS
                as a basis for my CV, but the others are nice too.

            So package 'isodoc' seems to be another (maybe simpler?) option.
            However, the thread proves again that it is not trivial to
            do-it-yourself. but there are quite a lot of options, it seems.

              This is still the solution I'm using -- however, not often sending postal
              mails...
              
              The only drawback there is that we need to tangle the buffer, and C-c C-c the
              resulting LaTeX file in AUCTeX mode to get the PDF.
              
              IIRC, Eric planed to look at the problem so that we could stay in Org for
              making the whole loop.
              
              Best regards,
              Seb
