This is myletter.upl This file describes akletter.cls, version 1.5 Akletter replaces the older myletter.cls which I have written in the early days of LaTeX2e. After a short discussion with Bernd Raichle, Jan Braun and some of my Beta-testers, I decided to rename the class to akletter. Yes, myletter wasn't a good name from the start, but I never meant this for distribution, it was only a small hack to make me and a few friends happy. I'm sorry if I hurt someone with the changes introduced in 1.5 (some were already in the never released 1.4d). Compatibility: Akletter 1.5 is not fully compatible to myletter 1.4. There are some minor changes in the page-layout I didn't dare to build into myletter. I tried to clean up the way a date is set: Option: refdate - The Date will be shown in the reference-line. If refdatename is defined, it will be set above the date. This forces a reference-line with 5 items. subjectdate - The Date appear in the same line as the first line of the subject. It will be rightaligned to the text. rightdate - The Date is shown in the rightfield, unless a custom-definition of this field disables it completly. Only one option should be used, the default is subjectdate, which should look similar to myletter.cls. Changelog: 1.5 First version derived from myletter.cls. Compatibility-class created. There is a new length \addrfieldindent that controlls the indentation of the addressfield. Use it to adjust to envelops with window. 1.5 a Introduced refdate/subjectdate/rightdate 1.5 b Removed bugs found by Jan Braun 1.5 c Made ready for public release Added akfax.cfg 1.5 d Synced with letter.cls 1.2u 1.5 e Added some commands to change fonts in - reference line: \reffont for the stationary text \reftextfont for the actual text you insert - pageheader \headfont (not titlepage) - pagenumber \pnumfont * some suggestion to design your own layout for pages following the firstpage are now in the cfg-file * finally translated the manual to english (lettereng) 1.5 f Synced with letter.cls 1.2z Reset the footnote counter for every letter now. Some minor correction to the cfg-files to avaoid using math Only relevant if you use T1 fonts (like postscript ones) 1.5 g Added support for letter paper (not released) 1.5 h corrected support for letter paper, added new papersize a4offset which is useful when you put the letter into a plastic binder with transparent cover. Binders like that are often used for job applications in germany. (Thanks to Margrehta Ri"sland for the suggestion and code samples.) Added dateformat isodate 2000-05-28 Supplied akfaxps.cfg to show how to use Times/Courier 1.5 i Made Layout more flexible by introducing new lengths: addrfieldsep, datesep and openingsep. Added option to exchange addrfield and rightfield.
