koma letter export receiver address

koma letter export receiver address

[York Zhao]

Dear org-mode koma letter developers,

I just noticed that when using org koma letter export, the receiver's address
has been moved from left side to page center. Is this the new default or an
introduced bug? If it's the new default, how do I change it back to the old
behavior?

Thanks,

York

I guess it would depend on the style/LCO files you are using.  There
should be no such change.

Could you share an example which produces the wrong pdf when starting
Emacs without your configuration, i.e. start Emacs as "emacs -q" and load
ox-koma-letter.

Thanks,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

Thanks for your help. Here's my .emacs:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (require 'org)
  (add-to-list 'load-path
               "~/.emacs.d/lisp/vendor/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
  (require 'ox-koma-letter)
#+END_SRC

M-x org-version produces:

Org-mode version 8.3.3 (release_8.3.3-640-g2b3c72 @
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)

Please find attach the file "test.org" and "test.pdf" produced by hitting C-c
C-e C-s k o.

Thanks,
York

Just wanted to follow up with this issue. I just tested it with the latest
org-mode (git commit 7e320e2), the problem was still there. Any chance this
can
be addressed?

Thanks,
York

Can you please provide a minimal example where you observe the problem
from Emacs -q and also provide the resulting tex file?

I've already provided a minimal example on Mar 6, sent to you and this
list. The

For your convenience, I've attached the two files again with this post. Hope
this helps.

Hi,

Can you just change the template to DIN or must you use the French format?
E.g.:

    #+LCO: DIN

No.

As I understand you are unhappy about the default, French, letter
template, so I'm asking if you can use another one, like DIN.
I’ve modified your example below.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

Oop! My apology! I've totally forgot this LCO thing. When I used koma
letter for
the first time, I think I had already figured this out, and had set to using
UScommercial9. I created my own class, and assigned my class name to
`org-koma-letter-default-class'. Unfortunately, after a long time not using
it,
when I've forgot the LCO thing, ox-koma-letter.el, at some point, had
changed to
always producing "\LoadLetterOption{NF}", which overwrites the setting in
my own
class.

Instead of setting the option in each org-mode file, I changed the value of
`org-koma-letter-class-option-file' to "UScommercial9". Thanks again for
pointing this out. Because of this issue, I've actually given up using koma
letter, and have been using the old letter class for a while.

I'm wondering why using a French style as default, while the vast majority
of
the users are from the English world, I believe! Just a suggestion.


Thanks,

York

I don’t know why the NF is the default.  IMO the "correct" default would
be not to load any class unless specified.  I won’t have time to change it
currently, but I would accept a patch that did it.

That’s fair.  Perhaps it would still be better to only set the letter
class if explicitly set and otherwise rely on the default (which is DIN
cf. pp. 198 of the KOMA-manual).  OTOH, it’s an unnecessary break of
config.

Aside: I noticed \LoadLetterOptions{list of names} which might be more
elegant to use if multiple LCO files are loaded.  If I remember, I will
look into that in a while.
