Hi David, I planned to provide a few american letter styles and you saw my comments in t-letter but I'm interested to know if want the element structure like normal block, semiblock etc. [1] formats where the position from every element depends on the last element or if it is acceptable to write styles where the positions for the insideaddress, the date and all other elements is fixed [2,page 4] like in my current styles and only the body text, the subject etc. depends on the page layout.

there are no labels, but I believe that it's wrong.
The MPlib library embedded in luatex does not actually
support btex .. etex blocks.
It is planned to intercept such blocks in the mkiv lua
code, but for now, just use textext().

Interesting problem, that one. The lack of color is easily explained
because there is an implied textext() around the string., but it is
not that easily solved, I suspect.
\string{\{}
Side note wrt. the example: don't you want \string\{ instead?
Anyway, the underlying problem is something for Aditya to look at,
maybe. Too many commands are now 'math mode only' because of changes
in char-def.lua.

i currently use sometxt() instead (was label because of much better
runtime in mkii). i guess it's one of the last places where i use text
inside mp, so it doesn't hurt that much. mh, maybe i should extract the
outlines (it's only one char) instead.
\string{\{}
Side note wrt. the example: don't you want \string\{ instead?
nope. the argument is a formal macro description with parameters in
braces and brackets. it's part of the testbed for my graphic macros.
Anyway, the underlying problem is something for Aditya to look at,
maybe. Too many commands are now 'math mode only' because of changes
in char-def.lua.
thanks for the detailed answer.
