latexmailmerge

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.
