How can we adjust the template (localisation, for example)?

Description

Thanks a lot for sharing this template! Very useful.

My question is: is it possible to do some adjustments to the template and if yes, how should we do this?

The changes I do think about are related to localisation (date in French, for example). Or in my region, we would have in the address first the postal code, and then the city.

Thanks a lot for helping,
Gabriel

You can't without modifying the LaTeX code from the corresponding partial:

• https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-letter/blob/main/_extensions/letter/partials/_authors.tex

Regarding the date/locale:

• https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/language.html
• https://quarto.org/docs/reference/dates.html

Note: I won't make any changes to this template, mostly because it was there to address a specific need and because it's LaTeX-based.
FYI, there are many "letter" templates available if this one does not fit fully what you need: https://m.canouil.dev/quarto-extensions/

Thanks a lot for these pointers, that’s perfect for me! I completely understand that you won’t change this template, no worries!
