This is an unofficial LaTeX package that provides a letterhead template for the University of Amsterdam. The design mimics the official Word template of the University and complies with the University's house style.
This package is hosted on CTAN and distributed as part of MikTex and TeXLive. It can also be installed manually by cloning this repository in your $HOME/texmf/tex/latex folder, which is searched by LaTeX. If you do not have such a folder, you can create it.
The package can be loaded with a pageno option that enables page numbering. Be aware that, in order for the layout to display, your letter body should be wrapped in a letterhead environment.
Here is a minimal working example:
\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage{uvaletter}
\logo{logo.jpg}
\recipient{foo}
\department{bar}
\visiting{}
\postal{}
\website{}
\date{}
\yourreference{}
\ourreference{}
\contactperson{}
\phone{}
\email{}
\subject{}
\enclosed{}
\begin{document}
\begin{letterhead}
Hello world!
\end{letterhead}
\end{document}The \recipient{} and \department{} commands are mandatory and their arguments must be non-empty. All other commands are optional and can be removed, commented out, or left empty.
In order for a logo to be displayed, you must indicate a path to the image in \logo{}. All official logos of the University of Amsterdam, including faculties, departments, and institutes, can be found here. If a path is not provided or the file is not found, the logo space is left blank.
