LaTeX Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community.
The letter class is used to format letters that can be printed and send over mail.
Each letter is in a separate letter environment, whose argument often contains multiple lines separated with a double backslash, (\\). The start of the letter environment resets the page number to 1, and the footnote number to 1 also.
The sender address and sender name are common to all of the letters, whether there is one or more, so these are best put in the preamble . As with the recipient address, often sender address contains multiple lines separated by a double backslash (\\). LaTeX will put the sender name under the closing, after a vertical space for the traditional hand-written signature.
Each letter environment body begins with a required \ opening command such as \opening{Dear Madam or Sir:} . The letter body text is ordinary LaTeX so it can contain everything from enumerated lists to displayed math, except that commands such as \ chapter that make no sense in a letter are turned off. Each letter environment body typically ends with a \ closing command such as \closing{Yours,} .
Additional material may come after the \closing. You can say who is receiving a copy of the letter with a command like \ cc {the Boss \\ the Boss's Boss}. There's a similar \ encl command for a list of enclosures. And, you can add a postscript with \ ps .
By default, LaTeX indents the sender name and the closing above it by a length of \longindentation (0.5\textwidth). To make them flush left, put \ setlength {\longindentation}{0em} in your preamble.
To set a fixed date use something like \ renewcommand {\today}{1958-Oct-12} .

How to type these special letters from European languages in latex?
ä, é, and L'?
You can type texdoc lshort in a command line (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on Linux/Mac OS X). Then have a look at Table 2.2 in Section 2.4.8. I'll quote it for you here.
in your preamble. With current (>2018) distributions inputenc is no longer needed if the file is UTF-8, as that is the assumed default encoding.
Then you can just type the characters normally into your source file.
ALternatively you can use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX which accept UTF-8 input natively. In that case you need to add only:
to your preamble. You should not load inputenc (or fontenc ) in this case. These engines allow you to use any font installed on your system. See the fontspec documentation for more details.
If your text editor doesn't support UTF-8 encoded files, you should probably get another editor. But if you're stuck with one, you can also use:
and save the files in the default encoding for your machine. You cannot use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX with such files, however.
Users looking to make common accents in regular text mode can do so with, for example, \'e .
You can use Detexify . Just draw your symbol, and it will figure out what you need to type! Much easier than plowing through endless symbol tables :).
The package selinput was not yet mentioned. Because I found good answers regarding its use on other places in TeX.SX let me first link to them:
Heiko Oberdiek (author of selinput ):
The input encoding depends on the editor that is used to write the TeX file … If the user is troubled to find the right encoding, then package selinput can help, …
( Encoding problems with custom LaTeX class (only on Windows 7/8). Why? )
For languages other than English you can choose a semiautomatic input selection. … The selinput package is part of the oberdiek bundle. It will select the right input encoding in dependence of the file encoding.
( German character not rendered to pdf )
You could choose another way of input encoding by the selinput package from the oberdiek bundle. It chooses the right encoding by some glyphs from your language correspondingly to the encoding of the source file.
( How to use spanish accents? )
The hardest part can be to find out, what has actually to be written in \SelectInputMappings , read the package documentation for this. You are not forced to add every letter not in ASCII range, but you have to add some distinctive characters for your language. Below I added the letters from question.
Maybe a short hint for the users of some languages with so called diacritics (or combining diacretic marks as e.g. in the german layout, see below): If you want to get an é or É (e/E accent acute) as described in this answer , you have to pay attention to not write \´e as you are possibly used to do (in e.g. a text-based program like Microsoft Word). ( ´ is the (yellow) accent key between ß and BACKSPACE on a german layout)
Btw, that "locking in and waiting for input" or diacritic behavior is also called dead key , as it produces no output of its own but modifies the output of the key pressed after it.
You should write \'e instead ( ' is the (green) apostrophe key, SHIFT + # ).
For reference I marked the correct key in green and the incorrect in yellow:
This also applies to the other keyboard layouts with diacritics (link to languages with these letters) , but not the ones with a dedicated key for the respective letter (in this example é) as french, spanish, swiss, italian or more (to put it differently, those layouts typically have a single key é or É among others).
This behavior of the accent keys is not present on the the standard english keyboards, but it can be switched to e.g. US/UK International to get a feel. Compare for example the dedicated ` key ( ~ without SHIFT ).
I don't mind plowing my way through symbol lists such as this one .
Once I've found what I need, and then use it nth of times, I don't forget it.
It's a good learning process.

LaTeX symbols have either names (denoted by backslash) or special characters. They are organized into seven classes based on their role in a mathematical expression. This is not a comprehensive list. Refer to the external references at the end of this article for more information. Contents, 1 Class 0 (Ord) symbols: Simple / ordinary ("noun")
Nov 23, 2020 In the following document, we will refer to special characters for all symbols other than the lowercase letters a-z, uppercase letters A-Z, figures 0-9, and English punctuation marks. Some languages usually need a dedicated input system to ease document writing. This is the case for Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and others.
The letter body text is ordinary LaTeX so it can contain everything from enumerated lists to displayed math, except that commands such as \ chapter that make no sense in a letter are turned off. Each letter environment body typically ends with a \ closing command such as \closing {Yours,} . Additional material may come after the \closing.
With XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, ALternatively you can use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX which accept UTF-8 input natively. In that case you need to add only: \usepackage {fontspec} to your preamble. You should not load inputenc (or fontenc) in this case. These engines allow you to use any font installed on your system.
The more unusual symbols are not defined in base LATEX (NFSS) and require \usepackage{amssymb} 1 Greek and Hebrew letters β \beta λ \lambda ρ \rho ε \varepsilon Γ \Gamma Υ \Upsilon χ \chi µ \mu σ \sigma κ \varkappa Λ \Lambda Ξ \Xi δ \delta ν \nu τ \tau ϕ \varphi Ω \Omega \epsilon o o θ \theta $ \varpi Φ \Phi ℵ \aleph
The default LaTeX font Computer Modern has individual files for a fixed set of font sizes, and it is not scalable to other sizes. It restricts the usage of fonts larger than \Huge and smaller than \tiny commands allow. To avoid any issues, you can use a vectorized version of the Computer Modern font, called Latin Modern, as the default font family.
All the predefined mathematical symbols from the TeX package are listed below. More symbols are available from extra packages. Contents, 1 Greek letters , 2 Unary operators, 3 Relation operators, 4 Binary operators, 5 Negated binary relations, 6 Set and/or logic notation, 7 Geometry, 8 Delimiters, 9 Arrows, 10 Other symbols,
Changing the numbering / bullets, Using lists in LaTeX is pretty straightforward and doesn't require you do add any additional packages. For unordered lists, LaTeX provides the itemize environment and for ordered lists there is the enumerate environment. The elements within both environments have to be declared beginning with the \item command.
I've been using \textsc, but rather than small capital letters I'm looking for all capital letters . Is there a way to force this? I've been searching online, but everyone seems to simply point at \textsc. Thanks in advance, Erik. Top. gmedina. Posts: 2313. Joined: Wed Jul 11, 2007 9:45 pm.

When working on a LaTeX document, the easiest way to change the font size is by using these predefined commands:
These commands change the font size locally. They can be used in two different ways: We can declare their scope inside a text within curly braces, such as {\huge these words are larger} . We can also create an environment by writing our text inside \begin{huge} and \end{huge} commands.
Sometimes, we might want to consider the line spacing when changing the font size. Ending our commands with a paragraph includes the adjusting of the \baselineskip , which specifies the minimum space between two successive lines in a paragraph. We can add a paragraph using \par command or adding a new line character at the end of the text. Following example shows the line space adjusting:
These commands are relative to the global font size of the document. When we choose a document class we are also setting a font size for the whole document. If it’s not declared, the default font size for most of the standard document classes is 10pt. This size becomes the se
