# EUROCONTROL Letter Format Template

This is a Quarto template that assists you in creating a letter on EUROCONTROL letterhead

## Creating a new letter

You can use this as a template to create a letter.
To do this, use the following command:

```bash
quarto use template eurocontrol/quarto-letter
```

This will install the extension and create an example qmd file that you can use as a starting place for your letter.

**NOTE**: please soon after the creation of your letter remember to render the qmd twice for the first time.
This will copy the needed files 

## Installation for existing document

You may also use this format with an existing Quarto project or document.
From the quarto project or document directory, run the following command to install this format:

```bash
quarto install extension eurocontrol/quarto-letter
```
