rnuske / komaletter Goto Github PK

Unfortunately, I am not able to knit documents using RStudio/Rmarkdown using komaletter anymore (yields an error, because it calls the grffile package, which is now a legacy package (thanks to @cderv for providing this related information caused by this):

This is related to other questions from a few days ago around the web:
https://superuser.com/questions/1500464/unable-to-knit-to-pdf-using-tinytex-missing-sty-file
Maybe be this one too: ho-tex/grffile#1

It seems the grffile is now a legacy package and there was change in how this package is required or not.

It has been removed from pandoc template a week ago jgm/pandoc@4d5fd9e with an issue to follow how it evolves. see jgm/pandoc#5848

Does anyone know how to work around this? I am trying to meet a deadline and am unable to use my letter templates now... :-(

Thank you for developing this interesting package.
Is there any way to produce a hyperlinked text without printing the URL as a footnote? I want to produce a clickable text.
Here is a snapshot of the following code line produces:
[linked text here](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet)

I wanted to add a few references in a submission letter for a paper but I am getting an error.

I am adding the standard information for making references:

In the yaml:
bibliography: c:/data/references.bib

In the text:
[@vandijk2021]

but get the following error:

! LaTeX Error: Environment CSLReferences undefined.

I noticed that some other people had similar problems in other cases and the problem seems to be related with Pandoc, for example see: crsh/prereg#16.

I hope you can have a look.

Hi
This looks great! I was wondering if there is a way (or a hack) to add subsections inside the letter.

Hi,
Thanks for the package.
How can I change the font.. it does not seem to be working?
And the return-addressshow double. How can only keep the upper-left one?

If opening is not set in the YAML metadata, the komaletter document can not be compiled. There should be a default for opening to get rid of this error.

Hey,

I was wondering whether there is a way to add the address and return-address as parameters to the file. I am having trouble to add the linebreaks via parameters between the street, city and country. See the example below.

(Output is as expected if lang: fr is removed.)

The error message suggests that the underlying problem might be the use of the polyglossia package no longer supported by more recent versions of pandoc – see JensErat/pandoc-scrlttr2#20 and Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template#278. Conclusion from these reports: A switch to the babel package is recommended.

The table containing list of LCOs doesn't show up properly on the CRAN renederd version of the vignette.

Maybe the table formatting is not recognized

Thanks for developing this great package. Is there any way to prevent the sender address from appearing twice (under the name and above the recipient address). I'd ideally like to only feature the sender address in the top right.

A long return-adress defined in the YAML-header is wrapped into multiple lines. An probably undesired effect is that (after printing and careful folding) only the lowest line of the return-adress can be seen in the adress window of a standard envelope. The rest is hidden.

Currently, komaletter::komaletter() output cannot be rendered on Windows platform.

Please refer to the following reproducible code:

test <- rmarkdown::draft(file = 'test', 
  template =   'pdf', 
  package = 'komaletter', 
  create_dir = FALSE, 
  edit = FALSE
)

I would like to add the university logo to the top of the letter so it more-or-less replicates the standard template. I followed the approach as described here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27982052/insert-a-logo-in-upper-right-corner-of-r-markdown-pdf-document

And added this in the yaml:
header-includes:

• \include{header}

plus a header.tex with the following information in the same folder

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{\includegraphics[width = .05\textwidth]{logo.png}}

Nothing, however, seems to happen. I suppose the header-includes is not supported (yet) by the package. Not sure if this is easy to implement but this seems to be a general feature that users would like to use.

Should it be possible to write a letter without adressing it?
At the moment komaletter crashes if no address is given.

Thank you very much for the package, it is really very useful. I know that usually a letter is only composed of a single page. However, when the body exceeds this limit (e.g. up to 2 pages), from the second page onwards the page number is shown at the bottom of each sheet. Of course this can be avoided by editing the .tex template, but I leave the suggestion to make this a default feature. Thank you!

If I put the following table inside a document that outputs to komaletter::komaletter I get an error.

| One Column                                        | Another column with a very long but useless title |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Another column with a very long but useless title | Another column with a very long but useless title |

The error message is

I can resolve the error by adding the tabularx package as dependency to the YAML header:

output:
  komaletter::komaletter:
    extra_dependencies: ["tabularx"]

But now I get the following error:
