# Pandoc Letter Template (DIN 5008)
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This template allows you to write simple letters in Markdown and convert them
|
|
into nice looking PDFs. The template is based on Koma Script and satisfies
|
|
the German DIN 5008 norm for letters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
A simple letter in Markdown looks like the following:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|

## Requirements
|
|
|
|
In order to use the template you must have installed the following components:
|
|
|
|
- [Pandoc](http://pandoc.org/installing.html)
|
|
- [LaTeX](https://latex-project.org/ftp.html)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
```

|
|
mv your-repo-path/letter.latex ~/.pandoc/templates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After creating a letter written in Markdown you can compile it into PDF with the
