Hi all! Thank you so much for answering my barrage of questions lately. Here's a blog post that explores creating configurable cover letters using ConTeXt. The gist is the ability to run two commands (wget "logo" + build "colour1" "colour2" "colour3") to rebuild a cover letter tailored for a company's brand.
https://keenwrite.com/blog/2025/10/15/creating-catchy-cover-letters/ It's so cool to see the cover letter output change in the blink of an eye, thanks to the power of ConTeXt. Lots of concepts bundled in the post: * Converting SVG to MetaPost * Passing variables into MetaPost * Controlling two-column layout width * Tweaking headers * Enabling font features * Using \bgroup and \egroup * Dynamic icon selection from hyperlink protocol * Styling Markdown classes for words and phrases Suggestions for improvements are welcome. Functionality overlaps between the post and Wolfgang's letter layout, but I don't know how much of the letter module would be transferable for what I had in mind. https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/talks/2010-09-15-wolfgang-letter/letterlayout.pdf Cheers!
