To Whom It May Concern,

This is a sample document to demonstrate the new letterhead XSLT for
MultiMarkdown. It is designed to be pretty complete in itself, but is also
flexible enough to allow for custom fonts and logos on the cover page.
Additionally, you can designate default return address information in your own
stylesheet, so that you don't have to enter it in every document.

The letterhead feature requires that you install the \texttt{mmd-letterhead.sty} file
(available from \href{http://files.fletcherpenney.net/mmd-letterhead.zip}{http:\slash \slash files.fletcherpenney.net\slash mmd-letterhead.zip}). You
install it the same way you install other LaTeX stylesheets. To use the
envelope feature, you must install \texttt{mmd-envelope.sty}.

Additionally, this sample document uses the \texttt{custom-letterhead.xslt} XSLT
stylesheet (included with MultiMarkdown), and the \texttt{fletcherpenney.sty} LaTeX
stylesheet, which is available on my website
(\href{http://fletcherpenney.net/XSLT_Files}{http:\slash \slash fletcherpenney.net\slash XSLT\_Files}) and also included with this sample
document. These files add additional font information and the logotype in the
upper left corner. Due to the font requirements, you must process this file
with XeLaTeX, which is part of \href{http://www.tug.org/mactex/}{MacTeX}\footnote{\href{http://www.tug.org/mactex/}{http:\slash \slash www.tug.org\slash mactex\slash }}. To use
this customization, you must have the \texttt{Garamond} and \texttt{Didot} fonts installed
on your system.

To use the letterhead and envelope features, simply be sure to include the
appropriate metadata --- \texttt{Author}, \texttt{Address}, \texttt{Recipient}, \texttt{RecipientAddress}. You can also optionally use \texttt{Email}, \texttt{Web}, \texttt{Phone}, \texttt{Fax},
\texttt{Department}, \texttt{Position}, \texttt{Signature}, and \texttt{Date}. To save time, you can
follow the example of the \texttt{custom-letterhead.xslt} and \texttt{custom-envelope.xslt}
files to store default information to be used. You can also add a custom logo,
typesetting, and a scanned signature, or whatever else you like. This sample
demonstrates most of these features via the \texttt{custom-letterhead} and
\texttt{custom-envelope} XSLT stylesheets.

In order to demonstrate some of the capabilities for letters produced with
this system, I have included a familiar table, MultiMarkdown vs. Crayons (\autoref{multimarkdownvs.crayons}).

\end{table}


In order to ensure that we go on to page 2, I have included some filler text
so that you can see what the ``non-cover'' pages look like.

And some math:

\[ {x}_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{{b}^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \]

You can also include formulas within a sentence, such as
\({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=1\).

Enjoy!
