\classAbstract{letter}
\label{class:letter}


The \class{letter} document class can be used for the creation of letters.
%
\begin{fixme}
  Maybe there should some hint about the US bias of this style. Or
  does it not exist any more?
\end{fixme}
%
It is described in the \LaTeX{} book.

The following options are supported by this class: \option{a4paper},
\option{a5paper}, \option{b5paper}, \option{letterpaper},
\option{legalpaper}, \option{executivepaper}, \option{landscape},
\option{10pt}, \option{11pt}, \option{12pt}, \option{draft},
\option{final}, \option{onecolumn}, \option{twocolumn},
\option{leqno}, and \option{fleqn}. It does \emph{not} accept the
option \option{twoside}.
\\
%
It supports the pagestyles \pgsty{headings} and \pgsty{firstpage}.

The class uses the files \file{letter.cls} and \file{size*.clo}.

\Revision 1.4 1994/02/01 20:50:09 schrod
Changed ``needs file[s] \dots'' to ``uses file[s] \dots'' This seems
(for me) to be better English.

\Revision 1.3 1994/01/31 21:14:21 schrod
Changed markup, use high-level tags instead of verbatim. This way we
can change the presentation and add automatic indexing, etc.

\Revision 1.2 1994/01/27 21:12:33 schrod
New descriptions for the core classes of \LaTeXe{}. Did also use new
markup that enables the inclusion in other documents as well. In
particular, the version history might be typeset this way.

\Revision 1.1 1994/01/17 18:18:10 detig
Updated english version to generic local guide for \LaTeX{} 2.09, both in
text and file structure.
Some parts (which will be subject to major changes with \LaTeXe{}) were
left untouched, though. Some style descriptions are still to be written,
their relevance must be checked, anyhow.
