Help needed on using letter class.

[lasting yearning]

Hello everyone,

I'm stumbled upon SILE while looking for a text-based way to write simple business letters. One that was more lightweight than LaTeX.

I found the letter class here:

https://github.com/sile-typesetter/sile/blob/master/classes/letter.lua

but I couldn't find any documentation or an example on how to actually use it.

If anyone could point me in the right direction or provide a simple example I would be very grateful.

Best Regards

Fabian

Greetings,

AFAIK, it's an undocumented sample class indeed, a rather old example just initialized without having being further developed (so probably quite limited).

There seems to be a test for it here; it might help getting started: https://github.com/sile-typesetter/sile/blob/master/tests/letter.sil

Not sure it covers it all and even works

(I had to add a \nofolios after the document declaration, so the page frame might be missing a folio (page numbering) frame - or it's just me -having a modified version of SILE locally with modifications- who broke something, ;)

You might give it a try anyway, and depending on you findings, help resurrect the concept by submitting an issue or a discussion on the GitHub repository?

Regards

Didier.
