Pandoc Letter Template (DIN 5008)

This template allows you to write simple letters in Markdown and convert them into nice looking PDFs. The template is based on Koma Script and satisfies the German DIN 5008 norm for letters.

Update:

This fork supports \tightlist, \section and \subsection commands:

# Section
## Subsection

Legacy List:

- Item

- Item

And this becomes a \tightlist:

- Item
- Item
