Army Memorandum LaTeX Class and Pandoc Template

Provides a basic AR 25-50 memo in latex.

Setup

• Requires LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX for font handling.
• Linux: install Arial font ("preferred" by AR 25-50 1-17)

Debian:

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo fc-cache
fc-match Arial

Usage

See main.tex and main.md.

If using Markdown, please follow the Pandoc Markdown standards. In particular, it is important that lists use #. to denote each item to avoid overriding the Army memorandum template Latex styling for lists.

A minimum set of declarations are required for the office-symbol, subject, signature block, etc. After these options, within \begin{document} ... \end{document}, the structure is based on an enumerate list.

Compile

Currently the Makefile compiles the main.md to out.pdf. TODO: build a more useful Makefile.

LaTeX

latexmk -pdf -pvc -lualatex main.tex

Markdown

pandoc -o out.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex --template=default.latex main.md
