Add new_tex_uwletter script (moved from ~/bin) with bug fixes: set -e, quoted variables, WORK_DIR instead of TMPDIR, existence check for destination, and mktemp inside the conditional. Update README to fix stale URLs, ShareLaTeX -> Overleaf, MacOSX -> macOS, typo in Dasgupta's email, and add script usage section. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

This is a LaTeX version of the University of Washington "matrix"
|
|
stationery or letterhead.
|
|
|
|
It uses the fonts provided by the UW website (Matrix II and OpenSans)
|
|
and attempts to be pica-for-pica identical to the stationery template
|
|
distributed as a Microsoft Word "DOCX" file by UW Brand and Creative
|
|
Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Because this document uses OpenType and TrueType fonts, it requires
|
|
XeTeX rather than standard LaTeX. It is supported by Overleaf
|
|
(https://overleaf.com/) although it is not the default. More details
|
|
on XeTeX are available here: https://tug.org/xetex/
|
|
|
|
On Debian or Ubuntu, install the following packages:
|
|
|
|
* latexmk
|
|
* texlive-xetex
|
|
* texlive-latex-recommended
|
|
* texlive-latex-extra
|
|
|
|
apt install latexmk texlive-xetex texlive-latex-recommended \
|
|
texlive-latex-extra
|
|
|
|
On other systems, installing a full TeX Live distribution should
|
|
provide everything needed.
|
|
|
|
The two required fonts Matrix-II and OpenSans are both included in
|
|
this repository, so no additional font packages are needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Encrypted signature files
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
If you'd like, you can encrypt the signature file. There are several
|
|
lines in the Makefile you can uncomment to do this. We've included an
|
|
optional encrypted copy of the fake signature file. To use it, the
|
|
passphrase is "weakpassword" (without quotes). You will want to
|
|
customize this. To use this, you will also need GNU Privacy Guard
|
|
(GPG) installed on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scripts
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
new_tex_uwletter
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Creates a new letter directory from the template. Takes a destination
|
|
directory as its argument:
|
|
|
|
new_tex_uwletter <directory>
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
new_tex_uwletter my-letter
|
|
|
|
This creates my-letter/ populated with the template files, with the
|
|
main source file renamed to my-letter.tex. Fonts are symlinked from
|
|
the source repository rather than copied, so the repository must
|
|
remain in place.
|
|
|
|
Symlink the script into your PATH with:
|
|
|
|
ln -s ~/tex/uw_tex_letterhead/new_tex_uwletter ~/bin/
|
|
|
|
|
|

Copyright and Usage
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This template was modeled after the Microsoft Word "Matrix" stationery
|
|
template published by UW Brand and Creative Services here:
|
|
|
|
https://www.washington.edu/brand/templates/stationery/
|
|
|
|
It is hopefully obvious that there are many ethical and legal
|
|
restrictions on when one can and cannot (and should or shouldn't) use
|
|
official university letterhead (e.g., it should only be used for
|
|
official communication). If you have any questions, contact UW Brand
|
|
and Creative Services at the link above.
