Re: How to access the Date Field from Koma Letter in the (LaTeX) preamble.
Turned out to be really easy.
Looked into
/Applications/LyX.app//Contents/Resources/layouts/scrlttr2.layout
and see that it does something like
Style Date
CopyStyle Name
LatexName setkomavar
LatexParam{date}
LabelString "Date:"
End
exported to LuaLaTeX and see that if I use a date in the LyX file it
exports to something like
\setkomavar{date}{2021-09-01}
Quick look in TFM (scrguien.pdf) and it turns out I can just use
\usekomavar{date}
in the stamp instead of \ISOToday as per the enclosed diff:
*** bookoff.2021-09-28.lyx 2021-09-28 17:35:19.0 +0200

If I don't, LyX (or rather Koma) sets up a default date (into the Koma
variable), which then also comes up on the stamp.

John, the Phillies are almost still in it. And the Blue Jays :-)-O Was the LCO in the same directory? And did you install the lipsum package?

Re: How to access the Date Field from Koma Letter in the (LaTeX) preamble.
John, all
here is the complete letter with the accompanying Koma Letter Class
Option file, which either needs to be in the same directory or in one
which texhash (which MUST be run after each change) can find.
On MacTeX the file to look for is
/usr/local/texlive/2021basic/texmf.cnf
on linux something like
find /usr -name texmf.cnf
might help.
The variable to look for is
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
which in my case yields something like
[...]
32 /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/misc
1496/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/koma-script
240 /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/rangen
[...]
and I have my own adapted *.lco in there, as homebrew (on the mac) makes
me own the tree below /usr/local and so I don't need sudo.
I think you can set up a similar tree below $HOME somehow, but I don't
use LyX/LaTeX on linux, so I don't know.
The letter is currently set up for DIN A4. In the LyX file as
Document -? Settings... -> Page Layout (Default)
where for US formats it would need to be adapted, and in the LCO at the
top where you should comment out the DIN and un-comment the
UScommercial9.
If you want to know where they are
The letter and stamp require a number packages, so at the very least do:
tlmgr install pgf xpatch lipsum hyperref xurl lastpage koma-script \
luacode
packages that are installed already will cause a warning message.
I hope it's a complete list.
I like Google's NOTO fonts but if you don't, just change in the document
preamble (this is required for the stamp to work, but I have never
bothered to try to understand why it doesn't work properly when put
directly into the LyX Font page).
Iso you may need to
tlmgr install noto
sudo may be required (of course).
I have put two paragraphs worth of lorem ipsum text in there, and if you
really want to play with it, wait for at least a minute, make small
change to the LyX file and regenerate, while the PDF viewer has it open.
You should see that the stamp will slightly rotate and move :-)-O
I also enclose a PDF for comparison, which was generated from the
command line using
lyx -f -e pdf5 bookoff.lyx
It needs LUATEX (LuaLaTeX), pdflatex does NOT work (it uses LUA
internally to calculate some randomness).
I find really cool, that you can have seriously involved and complicated
LaTeX Voodoo without a single line of it bothering the (casual) user
:-)-O as it is all hidden in the preamble or in the LCO.
I am quite interested in positive comments and improvements to make
it faster, better or both.
I would be EXTREMELY interested in someone doing this over as a LyX
module, i.e. so that you can get additional fields in the LyX window and
that the stamp dimensions are then calculated dynamically, and this
sordid mess could perhaps even join the LyX project properly :-)-O
I have not the faintest clue how to do that, myself :-)-O and as it
works for me, no interested in hopping on that particular learning
curve :-)-O

How to access the Date Field from Koma Letter in the (LaTeX) preamble.
Hi,
I have hacked me a Stamp in LaTeX which works very well in the Koma
Letter (by way of putting it in LyX's preamble.
The stamp gets placed next to the signature block, slightly randomly
placed, then slightly randomly rotated and by way of some roation of the
frame achieving a realistic look (smudged corners). I wrote an article
about this in the German TeX Usergroup's Die Technische Kommödie 2/2017.
I use the \ISOtoday ERT from Koma Script's scrdate package.
I do not remember whether I have asked this before, and I have looked,
but is there a way of using the date that Lyx uses in the blue Date:
field? So that if I put a fixed date in the letter, the same should
appear in the stamp (i.e. I do not want to have today's stamp on
yesterday's letter :-)-O
greetings, el
