This is a Quarto template that assists you in creating a letter on EUROCONTROL letterhead

You can use this as a template to create a letter. To do this, use the following command:

quarto use template eurocontrol/quarto-letter

This will install the extension and create an example qmd file that you can use as a starting place for your letter.

NOTE: please soon after the creation of your letter remember to render the qmd twice for the first time. This will copy the needed files

You may also use this format with an existing Quarto project or document. From the quarto project or document directory, run the following command to install this format:

quarto install extension eurocontrol/quarto-letter
