Package: tetex-doc
Version: 1.0.2+20000804-7
Severity: important
in /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-91.html :
\begin{letter}{Mr. John Doe \\ 2345 Jones St.
\\ Oakland, CA 91123}
\opening{Dear John,}
...
text of letter
...
\closing{Best regards,}
\end{letter}
Firstly, latex doesn't like:
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
Secondly, if \begin{letter} is replaced with \begin{document}:
! Undefined control sequence.
\opening ...ace {2\parskip }{\raggedright \toname
\\ \toaddress \par }\vspac...
l.7 \opening{Dear John,}
As this is the only documentation for the letter class that I can find on my system, I consider this a bug.
