[NTG-context] Letter module
Hello,
Is there any updated documentation for the letter/correspondence module? All I
can find
is version 2010.08.27 and I can see from this list that things have
changed, I just don't know where to find out what.
Also, can anyone tell me how to remove the label above the date, how to
add a pdf containing my letterheading as the page background, and how to
add a horizontal line between the backaddress and the toaddress?
For the page background I currently have:
\setupletter[
backgroundimage={letterhead}
]
but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried adding the file
extension.
Thanks,
Mo.

Re: [NTG-context] Letter module
Hello again,
I managed to get the backaddress looking how I wanted by reading again
through the main ConTeXt manual. I've also got my letterhead loading as
the page background to some degree like so:
\defineletterelement[layer][lettermain][Stationery]{\externalfigure[letterhead][width=210mm,height=297mm]}
\setupletterlayer
[lettermain]
[x=0mm,
y=0mm,
alternative=Stationery]
but there seems to be a tiny border around it rather than being flush to
the edges of the page. I've tried other methods using layers and
\setupbackgrounds but they seem to have no effect at all.
Can someone help with that?
I still haven't worked out how to remove the lavel above the date, and
to make matters worse it doesn't seem to be affected by changing the
document language either!
Mo.

Re: [NTG-context] Preparing a weird index.
john Culleton j...@wexfordpress.com writes: Hello, I have looked into Xindy for this job but the learning curve is pretty steep and the documentation pretty opaque. makeindex won't handle decimals for locators. in the past when working on some books with the English/Croatian/Sanskrit(diacritics) using Xindy in companion with LyX/LaTeX was the only option to ger proper sorting. I was playing with the ConTeXt more than 10 years ago, but lack of proper docs was always keeping me back from fully embracing it. Today after checking (again) I see that there are even some printed books and MkIV/LuaTeX seems to be quite stable, so I wonder about ConTeXt's capabilities to generate index/glossary in regard to xindy which is powerful, but I never really grokked it properly? Other typesetting features of ConTeXt are certainly very tempting and along with Emacs/AUCTeX everything looks as very pleasant typesetting environment. @John: I'm curios if you were able to prepare desired index *without* makeindex/xindy?

Great, thanks. I wanted to make sure before mentioning I'm still seeing problems. When you have a combination number/character sequence
(i.e., 1D or 11-22+) and specify an alignment (flushleft/middle/flushright) spaces get inserted between the final digit and the first
trailing character. So 1D might print as 1 D, 11-22+ prints as 11-22 +, etc. This happens
using . or , for alignment, it's not exclusive to aligning on a hyphen.
i now have two methods, number and text and {-} triggers text
you can force a method with text- and number-
no upload yet

I'll also add \nocharacteralign so that one can disable this mechanism
in a table cell.

[NTG-context] meeting
Hi, In case you didn't consider it yet ... in a couple of months we have the context meeting and this is a perfect opportunity to meet those involved in development and support. You can participate in discussions about upcoming developments, express wishes, get sneak previews, get your problems solved (meetings are quite efficient for that). Personally I like those meetings because it gives a face to users and also gives an idea in what direction to move. Also, tex related meetings are kind of special (beware, one can get hooked to them). If you have ideas for topics, let us know asap, Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

i don't know xindy but normally the context mkiv index mechanism is
flexible enough (and it can be configured)
Here are some snippets from my old xindy setup...
;; define order of sorting runs
(use-rule-set :run 0
:rule-set (resolve-sanskrit-diacritics hr-alphabetize
hr-ignore-special))
(use-rule-set :run 1
:rule-set (hr-resolve-diacritics hr-ignore-special))
(use-rule-set :run 2
:rule-set (hr-resolve-case hr-ignore-special))
(use-rule-set :run 3
:rule-set (hr-resolve-special))
which says that the sorting should be done in the following order: first
rules for sanskrit diacriticits, then alphabetic sort of Croatian (hr)
characters etc. followed by another set of rules saying to sort Croatian
diacritics (I was using latin2 encoding) etc.
Here is example of resolve-sanskrit-diacritics:
(define-rule-set resolve-sanskrit-diacritics
:rules ((\\={(a)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\={\\i} i :bregexp :again)
(\\={I} I :bregexp :again)
(\\\.{(.)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(r)} ri :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(t)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(T)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(d)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(n)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(s)} š :bregexp :again)
(\\d{(S)} Š :bregexp :again)
(\\~{(.)} \1 :bregexp :again)
(\\'{(c)} ć :bregexp :again)
(\\'{(C)} Ć. :bregexp :again)
(\\'{(s)} š :bregexp :again)
(\\'{(S)} Š :bregexp :again)
))
which says that e.g. 'ṣ' which is pronounced similar to Croatian 'š'
should go in the same letter-group, same with 'Ś' which goes to 'Š'. 'ṛ'
is pronounced as 'ri' and it should goes in the letter group 'ri' etc.
Of course, at that time, without proper Unicode support, it was a bit
cumbersome but I was able to see everything properly in LyX as well as
properly sorted in the final PDF/PS outputs.
Is something like that possible in ConTeXt?
Sincerely,
Gour
