LaTeX letter template

Currently, the template files from TU Wien are a bit outdated, because the old logos are used. The attached template files provide a tubrief letter class.

Installation instructions

  1. On apple, extract the attached archive file to the directory Library/texmf/tex within your home directory (e.g., /Users/myusername/Library/texmf/tex).
    Under linux, extract the archive to ~/texmf/tex. Create that directory, if it does not exist.

    Result: A directory tubrief, which contains the files tubrief.cls, the files mentioned below and the folder logos is created within the targed directory.

  2. Move the files e322.tex, e322.pdf and example.tex to an arbitrary working directory. The file example.tex is the template from TU Wien, e322.tex is the slightly modified version for our instutute.

  3. Any latex-command, e.g., pdflatex e322.tex or, alternatively, xelatex, lualatex or latex should work now.

Troubleshooting

The command kpsepath tex shows the directories that are searched for tex input files. If the directory mentioned above does not exist in this list, put tubrief.cls and logos into one of the directories that has three slashes at the end. (Three slashes mean: Search recursively this directory and all subdirectories.)

After putting files in one of the kpsepath tex directories that do have two exclamation marks prepended, it is necessary to update the input file database by issuing the texhash command.
