gtex-letter is a handy way to write letters. It provides the power of the different LaTeX-letter-classes, but hides all LaTeX-code behind an easy to use interface.
Features:
| A good looking interface, based on the gnome-desktop. |
| Serial letters are supported. |
| Multiple letter headers can be accessed from within the application. |
| Standard openings and default closings can be configured. |
| These openings can be configured to adopt to the sex of the addressee automatically. |
| You can choose from three different user interfaces. Novice is very easy for the beginner, intermediate is the standard way, expert is straight forward, all on one big page. |
| The application can swallow text you pipe into it, being it the address or the text of the letter. |
| A special non-interactive mode lets you produce standard-letters in an extremely efficient way. |
| gtex-letter connects to the gnome-address-book from the gnome-pim package. |
gtex-letter is implemented in python and based on gnome.
