wishlist: support for footer

[kasperdanielhansen]

Seems awesome, looking forward to experiment with it.
My school's default template suggests a footer as well. Not sure how easy it is to add, but if it is easy, I would be interested in that functionality

[eddelbuettel]

I think we should be able to cook this up as @aaronwolen is a wizard with esoteric LaTeX packages :)

Would you want the footer on every page, or only the cover?

[aaronwolen]

This may be possible. Could you post an example letter for us to checkout?

[mbojan]

I would love to have that! My employer puts a set of logos in the footer on the first page.

@aaronwolen @eddelbuettel et al, what do you think about adding an option, say, letterfoot that, similarily to letterhead, will expect a path to a PDF that will be inserted in the foot on the first page only? This is rather easy with \ThisLLCornerWallPaper? I can have a PR.

[eddelbuettel]

Sure. As @aaronwolen said earlier, we can look at an example, and a (clean) PR if you have one.

[mbojan]

PR coming up.

[eddelbuettel]

Keep it simple, keep it clean, if you questions -- ask. But it sounds like you identified a suitable latex trick so it should "mostly" be just a matter of supporting a new yaml option and activating it just like the header option does.

@kasperdanielhansen We have that now thanks to @mbojan and a follow-up by @aaronwolen. Rough sketch looks like this (where I removed my signature.pdf just in case)

(Minor shadow from my screenshotting...)

Key is to crop with the needed whitespace as the latex wallpaper packages places the whole image file flush to the edge.

[eddelbuettel]

With that we can probably close this.

[kasperdanielhansen]

Looks wonderful. I agree that this issue looks ready for closing. I will test this soon, but not tonight.

Looking at a CRAN upload likely tomorrow so ... it will soon find itself towards you in the usual way.
