Time for action – starting with a template

LaTeX editors often provide templates to start with. TeXworks offers some as well. So we shall test this feature, let's take one, open it, modify it, and Typeset:

1. In the TeXworks main menu, click on File and then on New from template. A window will open allowing you to choose a template:

   

2. In the lower part of the window, you can read the template's source. Here's an example of KOMA-Script (KOMA-letter.tex):

   % !TEX TS-program = pdflatex
   % !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
   
   % An alternative to the standard LaTeX letter class.
   
   \documentclass[fontsize=12pt, paper=a4]{scrlttr2}
   
   % Don't forget to read the KOMA-Script documentation, scrguien.pdf
   
   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
   
   \setkomavar{fromname}{} % your name
   \setkomavar{fromaddress}{Address \\ of \\ Sender}
   
   \setkomavar{signature}{} % printed after the \closing
   \renewcommand{\raggedsignature}{\raggedright} % make the signature ragged right
   
   \setkomavar{subject}{} % subject of the letter
   
   \begin{document}
