This template allows you to typeset cover letters for applications. It is intended to be run simply by writing the main body of the cover letter in a Markdown file and provide some metadata, including addresses, as YAML frontmatter variables. You have the following variables available:

• author: An object with information about yourself. It must contain the following keys:
  • firstname: Your firstname, and potential middle names
  • lastname: Your last, or family name
  • address: This is a list of address lines. These appear on the top-right.
  • email: Your email address. Appears below the address.
  • phone: Your phone number. Appears below the address.
• subject: This is the subject line of the cover letter. Appears between addressée and the main body of your letter.
• to_address: This is a list of address lines to where you are addressing the letter.
• attachments: If you have attachments to your application (such as a CV), and want to include them on your letter, list them here.
• attachments_title: By default, the attachment section will be headed by "Attachments". Here you can customize this (e.g., by translating).

Note that you also have some of the standard Pandoc variables such as fontsize available to use in your frontmatter, too.
