Hi all (but especially Wolfgang Schuster):
I'd like to use Wolfgang's t-letter module to set up a very basic
American-style letter. I see (by looking into t-letter.tex) that there
are at least plans for this to be possible. Is there a little example
anywhere of how to get started?
(Really, for my purposes, the basic DIN example as given in lm.pdf is
pretty good - just wondering what the other possibility looks like.)
Thanks
David

Hi David,
I planned to provide a few american letter styles and you saw my
comments in t-letter but I'm interested to know if want the element
structure like normal block, semiblock etc. [1] formats where the
position from every element depends on the last element or if it is
acceptable to write styles where the positions for the insideaddress,
the date and all other elements is fixed [2,page 4] like in my current
styles and only the body text, the subject etc. depends on the page
layout.
This is important to know for me both if have to use two different
systems for both solutions and the first requires more work because
I have to take care to allow you to switch between all styles.
Greetings
Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang. I don't know the correct answer to this, so I'll wait
for someone who does.
