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.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
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.
