Create project in app

A basic letter with sender and recipient address. The letter is ready for a DIN DL windowed envelope.

Usage

You can use this template in the Typst web app by clicking “Start from template” on the dashboard and searching for appreciated-letter.

Alternatively, you can use the CLI to kick this project off using the command

typst init @preview/appreciated-letter

Typst will create a new directory with all the files needed to get you started.

Configuration

This template exports the letter function with the following named arguments:

  • sender: The letter’s sender as content. This is displayed at the top of the page.
  • recipient: The address of the letter’s recipient as content. This is displayed near the top of the page.
  • date: The date, and possibly place, the letter was written at as content. Flushed to the right after the address.
  • subject: The subject line for the letter as content.
  • name: The name the letter closes with as content.

The function also accepts a single, positional argument for the body of the letter.

The template will initialize your package with a sample call to the letter function in a show rule. If you, however, want to change an existing project to use this template, you can add a show rule like this at the top of your file:

#import "@preview/appreciated-letter:0.1.0": letter

#show: letter.with(
