# Army Memorandum LaTeX Class
Provides a basic AR 25-50 memo in latex.
## Setup
* Requires LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX for font handling.
* Install Arial font ("preferred" by AR 25-50 1-17)
Debian:
```bash
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo fc-cache
fc-match Arial
```
Fedora:
## Usage
See `example.tex` and (TODO) template.tex.
A minimum set of declarations are required for the office-symbol, subject,
signature block, etc. After these options, within `\begin{document}` ...
`\end{document}`, the structure is based on an `enumerate` list. This is a major
break from the previous version, but much better for writing, as a good LaTeX
editor will facilitate editing the nested list. Also, I intend to tie this into
my emacs org-mode configuration eventually to further ease writing.
The basic structure looks like:
```latex
\documentclass{armymemo}
\address{Organizational Name/Title}
\address{Standardized Street Address}
\address{CITY, STATE~~12345-1234}
% AR 25-50 (10OCT2020) 5-10.b requires two spaces between state and zip.
% this can be either ` \ ` to add two spaces, or `~~` to use two non-breaking spaces.
\author{John W. Smith}\rank{CPT}\branch{CY}\title{S-3} % optional
\officesymbol{ABC-DEF-GH}
\suspensedate{12 April 2019} % optional
\signaturedate{10 April 2019}
\memoline{MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD}
\documentmark{UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (EXAMPLE ONLY)} % optional
\subject[(U) ]{The creation of memos using \LaTeX}
\authority{BY ORDER OF THE COMMANDER} % optional
% AR 25-50 mandated Arial from 2013-2020.
% The default is still Arial, but you can restore Times using:
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item This memo is a demo.
\item This item contains sub items.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Thing one.
\item Thing two.
\end{enumerate}
\item Point of contact is the undersigned.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
```
## Compile
```bash
latexmk -pdf -pvc -lualatex example.tex
```
## Thanks
Thanks to @jschaf for enumitem and a better document template, also @pconwell, @kjelderg, @nelsonrg, and others.
