If you are comfortable with LaTeX, then it probably isn't necessary because you already know how \includegraphics{logo} works, or you would look it up. When I wrote this, I felt like because ox-koma-letter makes it so easy for non LaTeX Org users, that a reminder would help because this variable is I think the only one that requires any LaTeX knowledge. That was the context for my statement. I'm making a big assumption that non latex org users would benefit here. > Couldn't you use, e.g., \includegraphics{subdir/logo} Yes.

Can the documentation in the standard distribution include step-by-step example using XeTeX comparing plain TeX and LaTeX for writing a letter to PDF with an SVG logo placed well? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I think it would be better to expound this a bit, maybe with a couple of examples, or by using meta syntactic variables: \includegraphics{path/to/logo} > If you like the additional documentation, then I will update it with > this and send a new patch.
