+# modernpro-coverletter
+
+An academic-first Typst package for cover letters and research, teaching, or
+personal statements. It shares its design system and `profile` shape with
+[modernpro-cv](https://typst.app/universe/package/modernpro-cv), so a CV, a
+letter, and a statement read as one application while each source file remains
+self-contained.
+
+The default design is intentionally complete. Most users only need to provide
+their profile, the recipient, and the letter text.
+
+All examples use explicit Placeholder entities from Exampleland and reserved
+`.invalid` domains; none maps to a real person, place, institution, or project.
+
+## Preview

+
+## Choose a document
+
+| Document | Start from | Best for |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Cover letter | `coverletter.typ` | A role, fellowship, grant, or programme application addressed to a recipient |
+| Statement | `statement.typ` | Research, teaching, diversity, service, or personal statements with section headings |
+
+Both documents keep an editable `profile` dictionary at the top of their own
+file. Copy the same values when you want matching headers, without adding a
+shared-file dependency.
+
+## Quick start
+
+Create and compile a project with the Typst CLI:
+
+```bash
+typst init @preview/modernpro-coverletter:1.0.3
+cd modernpro-coverletter
+typst compile coverletter.typ
+typst compile statement.typ
+```
+
+The generated project contains:
+
+```plain
+modernpro-coverletter/
+├── coverletter.typ   <- recipient, letter body, and closing
+└── statement.typ     <- title, headings, and statement body
+```
+
+Use `typst watch coverletter.typ` or `typst watch statement.typ` for automatic
+recompilation while editing.
+
+### First edit checklist
+
+1. Replace the placeholder identity at the top of the document you are using.
+2. In `coverletter.typ`, replace every recipient field and write the letter in
+   short block paragraphs.
+3. In `statement.typ`, rename the title and headings to match the requested
+   document.
+4. Remove example claims rather than adapting them as if they were factual.
+5. Compile to PDF and inspect the header, first body line, closing, and page
+   breaks.
+
+## Minimal academic cover letter
+
+Keep your identity beside the letter content in the same source file:
+
+```typst
+#import "@preview/modernpro-coverletter:1.0.3": *
+
+#let profile = (
+  name: [Dr. Nova Placeholder],
+  role: [Lecturer in Speculative Systems],
+  address: [Sample City, Exampleland],
+  contacts: (
+    (text: [nova\@candidate.invalid], link: "mailto:nova@candidate.invalid"),
+    (text: [nova.candidate.invalid], link: "https://nova.candidate.invalid"),
+    (text: [Fictional ID~0000-0000], link: "https://registry.example.invalid/0000-0000"),
+  ),
+)
+
+#show: coverletter.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  recipient: (
+    name: [Professor Taylor Demo],
+    role: [Chair, Fictional Search Committee],
+    department: [School of Speculative Policy],
+    organization: [Placeholder Institute],
+    address: [Demo Harbour, Exampleland],
+    date: [1 Imaginarymonth 20ZZ],
+    subject: [Application for Lecturer in Speculative Governance],
+    greeting: [Dear Professor Demo and Members of the Fictional Committee,],
+  ),
+)
+
+Write the opening paragraph here.
+
+Write the research, teaching, or professional case in short block paragraphs.
+
+Close by explaining the fit and thanking the committee.
+```
+
+The default closing is `Sincerely,` followed by the profile name. Override it
+only when needed:
+
+```typst
+closing: (
+  salutation: [Best regards,],
+  supplements: ([Enclosure: Curriculum vitae],),
+)
+```
+
+## The three settings
+
+Everything beyond `profile` and `recipient` is optional:
+
+| Setting | Values | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `profile` | `name`, optional `role`, `address`, `contacts` | Who you are |
+| `preset` | `"compact"`, `"default"`, `"relaxed"` | The whole vertical rhythm |
+| `accent` | any colour | The one colour in the document |
+
+```typst
+#show: coverletter.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  recipient: (name: [Recipient Name],),
+  preset: "compact",
+  accent: rgb("#1e3a5f"),
+)
+```
+
+A preset coordinates header rows, recipient and subject spacing, title spacing,
+heading-to-body gaps, line spacing, and paragraph spacing at once. Choose a
+preset rather than tuning gaps individually.
+
+## Recipient fields
+
+The `recipient` group uses ordinary letter terminology:
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `name` | Recipient or committee chair |
+| `role` | Role or position |
+| `department` | Department, school, or unit |
+| `organization` | University, company, or institution |
+| `address` | City or postal address |
+| `postcode` | Optional separate postcode line |
+| `date` | Letter date; omit it to use today's date |
+| `subject` | Sentence-case application subject |
+| `greeting` | Opening greeting |
+
+Every recipient field is optional. If `date` is omitted, the template inserts
+today's date; other empty fields leave no placeholder gaps. For an application,
+provide at least the recipient or committee, organization, subject, and
+greeting whenever they are known.
+
+## Statement template
+
+`statement` uses the same profile, header, and visual identity. First- and
+second-level Typst headings are styled automatically, so a research statement
+stays easy to edit:
+
+```typst
+#import "@preview/modernpro-coverletter:1.0.3": *
+
+#let profile = (
+  name: [Dr. Nova Placeholder],
+  role: [Lecturer in Speculative Systems],
+  address: [Sample City, Exampleland],
+  contacts: (
+    (text: [nova\@candidate.invalid], link: "mailto:nova@candidate.invalid"),
+    (text: [nova.candidate.invalid], link: "https://nova.candidate.invalid"),
+  ),
+)
+
+#show: statement.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  title: [Fictional Research Statement],
+)
+
+= Imaginary research agenda
+Introduce the question that connects the fictional programme.
+
+= Simulated current programme
+Describe the placeholder projects, methods, and contributions.
+
+= Future work
+Set out the next phase of the programme.
+```
+
+Use level-one headings (`= Heading`) for the major argument. Prefer three to
+five descriptive sections over many short fragments. Statements add a compact
+continuation header from page 2 by default.
+
+## Keep every document self-contained
+
+The profile dictionary has the same shape as modernpro-cv, but each generated
+document keeps its own copy. An application folder therefore has no shared
+personal-data dependency:
+
+```plain
+application/
+├── cv.typ
+├── coverletter.typ
+└── research-statement.typ
+```
+
+Copy the small `#let profile = (...)` block when starting another document.
+This deliberate duplication makes every file portable and independently
+compilable; update the copied values only when the application needs a
+different role or contact order.
+
+## Shared academic design
+
+The CV, cover letter, and statement use the same tokens.
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| Family | PT Serif, falling back to Libertinus Serif — one family, two weights |
+| Sizes | 8.8pt captions · 9.8pt recipient and address · 10.8pt body · 15pt statement title · 18pt name |
+| Colours | `#1f2933` ink · `#667085` muted · `#1e3a5f` accent · `#dde3ea` rules |
+| Margins | 2.2cm left and right · fixed 2cm top, matching modernpro-cv |
+| Header | Split grid: name, role, and location left; stacked contacts right; accent rule below |
+| Paragraph style | Left aligned, no first-line indent, block paragraphs |
+
+The matching left and right margins align the endpoints of the header rule
+across the application. Its vertical position depends on the header's minimum
+height and the space needed by its content.
+
+Block paragraphs are easier to scan than justified text carrying both an indent
+and a blank gap. The default starter also avoids decorative icons, keeping text
+extraction and accessibility clean.
+
+## Advanced configuration
+
+Most documents never need this section. When you do need a specific override,
+optional settings are grouped by purpose:
+
+| Group | Use it for |
+| --- | --- |
+| `theme` | Fonts, semantic colours, sizes, and weights |
+| `layout` | Margins, paragraph rhythm, header layout, and continuation behaviour |
+| `closing` | Sign-off, signature spacing, and enclosures |
+
+The semantic theme keys match modernpro-cv:
+
+```typst
+#let theme = (
+  font: "PT Serif",
+  text: rgb("#1f2933"),
+  heading: rgb("#1f2933"),
+  muted: rgb("#667085"),
+  accent: rgb("#1e3a5f"),
+  rule: rgb("#dde3ea"),
+)
+```
+
+Common layout keys are:
+
+| Key | Purpose | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `preset` | Coordinated document rhythm: `"compact"`, `"default"`, or `"relaxed"` | `"default"` |
+| `margin` | Page margins | Academic margins above |
+| `first-line-indent` | Paragraph indent | `0em` |
+| `line-spacing` | Typst paragraph leading | `0.85em` at the default preset |
+| `paragraph-spacing` | Space between paragraphs | `1.55em` at the default preset |
+| `justify` | Fully justify body text | `false` |
+| `header-style` | `"split"` or `"centered"` | `"split"` |
+| `contact-layout` | `"stacked"` or `"inline"` contacts in a split header | `"stacked"` |
+| `name-align` | Horizontal alignment of the name and role | `left` in split headers; `center` in centered headers |
+| `address-align` | Horizontal alignment of the address | `left` in split headers; `center` in centered headers |
+| `contact-align` | Horizontal alignment of contacts; icon lists keep labels aligned in their column | `right` in split headers; `center` in centered headers |
+| `repeat-header` | Add a compact continuation header from page 2 | cover letter: `false`; statement: `true` |
+| `page-numbering` | Add current and total page count to continuation headers | `true` |
+| `header-height` | Minimum first-page identity area height; grows with content | `17mm` |
+| `contact-separator` | Separator between inline contact items | `" · "` |
+| `date-format` | Format for an automatic date | `[day] [month repr:long] [year]` |
+
+The full identity header is always part of the first page's document flow. Its
+position does not move when continuation behaviour changes. If `repeat-header`
+is enabled, later pages receive only a compact name, document label, and page
+count; contact details are not repeated or placed outside the accessible first
+page structure. Statements enable this behaviour by default.
+
+## Contacts
+
+The adaptive header improvements described below are available in version 1.0.3.
+
+A contact may be linked, unlinked, or plain content, and may carry an optional
+`icon` exactly as in modernpro-cv:
+
+```typst
+contacts: (
+  (text: [name\@candidate.invalid], link: "mailto:name@candidate.invalid"),
+  (text: [site.candidate.invalid], link: "https://site.candidate.invalid"),
+  [Fictional ID 0000-0000],
+)
+```
+
+Escape `@` as `\@` inside Typst content (`[...]`). Quoted strings such as
+`"name@candidate.invalid"` do not need that escape. Two or three concise contacts
+keep the header short, but five is not a limit: add the items you need in the
+order you want them to appear. FontAwesome is optional and is not imported by
+the package or starter.
+
+### Sizing and wrapping
+
+`layout.header-height` is a **minimum**, not a fixed height or a limit. It
+defaults to 17 mm. Additional contacts and wrapped lines expand the header;
+the divider, recipient block or statement title, and body move down with it.
+Font sizes and row spacing stay at their configured values.
+
+Split headers that fit retain their bottom alignment. When content exceeds the
+minimum, the identity and contact columns align at the top. Long email
+addresses and URLs can break at punctuation; an individual segment wider than
+its column can break between characters. The text is not truncated, no hyphens
+or invisible characters are added to copied labels, and link destinations stay
+unchanged. Optional icons are centered by their visible glyph bounds within
+the label's first line, including wrapped labels. Font Awesome needs no
+`top-edge` adjustment; existing icons with `top-edge: "baseline"` also remain
+supported.
+
+### Header layouts
+
+| `layout.header-style` | `layout.contact-layout` | First-page layout |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `"split"` (default) | `"stacked"` (default) | Identity on the left; one contact per row on the right |
+| `"split"` | `"inline"` | Identity on the left; contacts flowing across lines on the right |
+| `"centered"` | Either value | Name, role, address, and inline contacts centered across the page |
+
+Inline items stay together when they fit the available width; a longer item
+wraps within that width. Centered headers always use inline contacts, so
+`contact-layout` only selects a layout for split headers. All of these settings
+work with both `coverletter` and `statement`. Profile photos remain a CV-only
+feature.
+
+## Common recipes
+
+### Add enclosures
+
+```typst
+closing: (
+  supplements: (
+    [Enclosure: Curriculum vitae],
+    [Enclosure: Research statement],
+  ),
+)
+```
+
+### Use a centered header
+
+This centers the name, role, address, and contacts without setting each
+alignment separately:
+
+```typst
+#show: coverletter.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  layout: (header-style: "centered"),
+)
+```
+
+Use `statement.with` for a statement. Explicit `name-align`, `address-align`,
+and `contact-align` settings still take precedence. For example, adding
+`address-align: left` inside `layout` keeps only the address left-aligned.
+Grouped `layout` settings take precedence over the corresponding legacy flat
+arguments.
+
+### Use inline contacts in a split header
+
+```typst
+#show: coverletter.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  layout: (contact-layout: "inline"),
+)
+```
+
+### Give the header more room
+
+```typst
+#show: coverletter.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  layout: (header-height: 24mm),
+)
+```
+
+This reserves at least 24 mm before the divider. Taller content still expands
+the header; reducing this value does not compress the contacts. For a matching
+CV and letter, use the same minimum with profiles and layouts that fit inside
+it. Different content or photo layouts can still require different heights.
+
+### Disable a statement continuation header
+
+```typst
+#show: statement.with(
+  profile: profile,
+  title: [Research Statement],
+  layout: (repeat-header: false),
+)
+```
+
+### Use an explicit date
+
+```typst
+recipient: (
+  date: [9 July 2026],
+)
+```
+
+## Legacy compatibility
+
+Nothing was removed. The flat parameters `font-type`, `name`, `address`,
+`contacts`, the colour parameters (`primary-colour`, `headings-colour`,
+`subheadings-colour`, `date-colour`, `link-colour`), the type sizes, and the
+spacing parameters all still resolve. `layout: (density: ...)` remains an
+accepted spelling of `preset`.
+
+The recipient aliases `start-title` and `cl-title` still map to `greeting` and
+`subject`. `institution` remains an alias for `organization`, and `position`
+remains an alias for `role`. The legacy `salutation` argument controls the
+closing sign-off.
+
+New documents should use `profile`, `recipient`, and the three settings shown in
+the quick start.
+
+## Upgrading from 0.0.x
+
+Your existing documents keep compiling, and they will change more than a visual
+redesign alone would explain. In 0.0.x the body style was applied inside a
+helper function that produced no content, so Typst scoped the rules to that
+helper and discarded them: letters rendered at Typst's 11pt default rather than
+the configured `body-size`, and `line-spacing`, `paragraph-spacing`, `justify`,
+`first-line-indent`, and `link-colour` had no effect at all. Those settings now
+work. If you had compensated for the old behaviour with manual overrides,
+remove them.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **The email causes a syntax error:** escape `@` as `\@` inside Typst content.
+- **The header takes more space after adding contacts:** it expands to keep
+  every item readable. A smaller `header-height` does not shrink its content;
+  shorten labels or choose `preset: "compact"` if space is tight.
+- **A centered header still has left- or right-aligned text:** remove explicit
+  `name-align`, `address-align`, or `contact-align` overrides to use the centered
+  defaults.
+- **The first page looks crowded:** shorten the contact block and recipient
+  address before selecting the compact preset.
+- **A statement heading is too close to a page break:** keep it as a Typst
+  heading; the template marks styled headings as sticky.
+- **The letter unexpectedly becomes two pages:** remove repetition first, then
+  try `preset: "compact"`.
+- **A font is unavailable:** set `theme: (font: "Libertinus Serif")`.
