#
# This script will automatically create XeLaTeX letters in the Linux
# Libertine and Linux Biolinum font. For that, it will utilize the 
# scrlttr2 class out of the KOMA-Script package.
#
# After a series of questions the nano editor will open out in which
# the content of the letter can be inserted. After that a PDF document
# will be created.
#
# It is fairly easy to modify the script to one's need by just changing 
# some of the options and keywords in the XeLaTeX letter template.
#
# As a feature, this script will save the sender details (name, address etc.)
# in a directory called ~/.xelatex-letter-builder so it can be 
# easily loaded for later use. 
#
# Required packages: xelatex, fonts-linuxlibertine, nano
#
#

#  01/07/2015: Version 1.0
