Newsletter Template: what it does
A printed newsletter still works: on the shop counter, in a staff room, pinned to a noticeboard or sent as a PDF. This newsletter template sets your text like a real one. The name sits in a serif masthead over a classic double rule, with the issue number, the date and an “in this issue” list made from your section headings. The stories run in two newspaper columns with a thin rule between them (three in landscape), and each section heading gets a small accent bar. A dates list turns upcoming events into neat rows with date chips. Type or paste your stories and save the PDF from your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text, or open a .txt or .md file. Add a title, subtitle, author and date if you like.
- Choose a template, font, colours, paper size and orientation. The preview shows the real pages as you type.
- Click “Download PDF”. Your browser’s print window opens.
- Choose “Save as PDF” as the destination and save. The text stays selectable in the PDF.
Tips
- Start with a # headline and one short paragraph under it: that paragraph becomes the lead, set larger across both columns.
- Use ## for each story. The first four appear in “in this issue” under the name.
- List events with :::dates, one “15 Nov | What | detail” line each, then :::.
- Keep stories short: three or four paragraphs read best in narrow columns.
- Fill in the issue number and month: readers who keep them can find an issue again.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a newsletter in columns?
Choose this template and paste your text. The columns are made for you: column one fills first, then column two, and on the last page both columns end level.
Will it print well at home?
Yes. It is designed for A4 or US Letter on a normal printer: dark text on a light page, thin rules and small areas of colour. Use a light page colour for printing.
Can I email it?
Yes. Save it as a PDF and attach it, or share it in a chat. The text stays sharp and selectable.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The newsletter is laid out and saved as a PDF by your own browser. Nothing you type is sent to our servers.
