[NTG-context] Module t-letter: Headers, Footers And Back Address
Hello everyone, an issue arised while writing a letter with the third party module t-letter (http://modules.contextgarden.net/letter). I've read the official documentation (Correspondence with ConTeXt) but I found no solution to: a) Setup a header/footer for the first page and configure a different one for the following pages. Page 46 of the documentation describes the setup of the specific (letter) layers. With the state parameter it's possible to enable (= start), disable (= stop) the header or start it on the second page and the following (= next), but if I configure the header for the first page with \setupletterstyle[head] [ state=start, alternative=left, fromrule=top, ] and then for the following pages \setupletterstyle[head] [ state=next, ... ] only the second setup is typeset. From this it follows that the first setup is just overwritten. The header on the first page should only contain a name and than a thin line (a \hairline similar to the built-in variable fromrule). The header on the following pages should contain variable things and than also a thin line. Unfortunately I found no possibility to get this done. b) I would like to define a back address which should be typeset above the addressee. Page 44 of the documentation illustrates amongst other layers the back address layer, but there is no way to activate and configure this layer. I've tried it with \setupletter[backaddress][...] and \setuplayer[backaddress][...]. Maybe someone have a tip. Thank you and have a nice week.

Hello everyone,

I've read the official documentation (Correspondence with ConTeXt) but
I found no solution to:
a) Setup a header/footer for the first page and configure a different
one for the following pages.
Page 46 of the documentation describes the setup of the specific
(letter) layers. With the state parameter it's possible to enable (=
start), disable (= stop) the header or start it on the second page
and the following (= next), but if I configure the header for the
first
page with
\setupletterstyle[head]
[
state=start,
alternative=left,
fromrule=top,
]
and then for the following pages
\setupletterstyle[head]
[
state=next,
...
]
only the second setup is typeset. From this it follows that the first
setup is just overwritten.
This is the usual behavior of all setup commands in context, later settings
overwrite earlier ones. To set different header you can use 'head' for the
first page and 'nexthead' for the following pages.
The header on the first page should only contain a name and than a
thin line (a \hairline similar to the built-in variable fromrule).
The header on the following pages should contain variable things and
than also a thin line.
Unfortunately I found no possibility to get this done.
\defineletterelement[head][benedikt]
{\lettervalue{fromname}
\hairline}
\defineletterelement[nexthead][benedikt]
{...
\hairline}
\setupletterstyle[head,nexthead][alternative=benedikt]
b) I would like to define a back address which should be typeset above
the addressee.
Page 44 of the documentation illustrates amongst other layers the back
address layer, but there is no way to activate and configure this
layer. I've tried it with \setupletter[backaddress][...] and
\setuplayer[backaddress][...].
Enable it with \setupletterstyle[backaddress=yes], it's disabled by default.

Hello,
is it possible to increase border width of single row (or column) without
affecting inner (between cell) borders using TABLE macro?
On the wiki, there is a solution for wider border around whole table using
additional \framed, would work something similar for single row?
You can metapost to draw another border behind the cell.

[NTG-context] beta
Hi, I uploaded a beta. There have been quite some changes in the lua code, not so much in terms of functionality but in organization (a first step to a more formal api). So, if you use calls to functions in mkiv, you might need to check it. There have been some extensions but those will become available when the next luatex release happens.
