2. I cannot find a way of defining elements which are effectively in the
running text like \openingline=Dear ..., in the setupletter because
\getvalue{letter@opening} seems not to pick up the value. A similar problem
occurs with closing which has a number of formatting constraints which
deosn't want to be seen in the letter source. The only way I have been able
to achieve the objective has been to use the following type of construct.
In the source letter
\signature[Nigel King]
In the module
\def\signature[#1]{\def\fromsig{#1}}
\def\closing[#1]{\par\framed[width=\textwidth,frame=off]{\rbox{
\blank[2*big] #1 \blank[6*big] \fromsig\par}}}
Any help would be much appreciated.
\setvariables
[letter:opening]
[name=...,
date=...]
\setvariables
[letter:closing]
[name=...,
whatver=...]
....
\getvariable{letter:opening}{name}
This way there is no need for the get parameter stuff and you can group your variables; this mechanism also bypasses the multi lingual inferface, since this is what is troubling you: getparameter remaps tags to the low level names. You get better error messages for free.
