A helper for converting CSV files into a LaTeX command format, so that the data can be used for mail merge letters.
Purpose of the Program
LaTeX is a fantastic tool for composing and writing mail merges. The LaTeX document classes letter and scrlttr2 provide the implementation of typesetting letters of all kind.
For writing a mail merge, it has been a common way to wrap the letter class into a created command and then call this command multiple times.
This would create a letters for each command with the adapted content. But where does the data come from? Mostly we would use Excel/Calc-Sheets where we have tables of customers, friends, etc. which we would like to address. In this case, it would be very complicated to manually create an adapted LaTeX command for each entry. Here latexmailmerge steps in. It can convert a CSV file into a TeX file with the appropriate content which then can be used to create a mail merge.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install latexmailmerge, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install latexmailmerge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
