Letter Format Template

This is a Quarto template that assists you in creating a manuscript using the letter format.

Creating a New Letter

You can use this as a template to create a letter. To do this, use the following command:

quarto use template mcanouil/quarto-letter

This will install the extension and create an example qmd file and bibliography that you can use as a starting place for your article.

Installation For Existing Document

You may also use this format with an existing Quarto project or document. From the quarto project or document directory, run the following command to install this format:

quarto add mcanouil/quarto-letter

Usage

To use the format, you can use the format name letter-pdf¹. For example:

quarto render template.qmd --to letter-pdf

or in your document yaml

format: letter-pdf

It's possible to change the subject title and the subject suffix, e.g., for a French letter:

subject-title: Objet
subject-suffix: " :"

You can view a preview of the rendered template at https://m.canouil.dev/quarto-letter/index.pdf.
