Re: [NTG-context] letters in context mkiv

Your suggestion with foregroundstyle and foregroundcolor works. Thank you! \setlayer[AddressBg] {\framed[width=55mm,height=30mm, align=right,background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, foregroundcolor=red,foregroundstyle=\ss\tfa]{\xmlall{#1}{/address}}} My question (my ’need’) was quite

Re: [NTG-context] letters in context mkiv

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your new suggestions. As a matter of fact, I yesterday found the following suggestion (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers): \definelayer[AddressBg] [location={right,top}, y=6cm, x=12cm, color=red, style=\ss\tfa]. I used this in the sample suggested by you

Re: [NTG-context] letters in context mkiv

Dear Pablo, Thank you for your insightful remarks. I tried your suggestions. As you predicted, the Knuth tex is processed when put here, without using the buffer mechanism. \startsetups[letter:section:content] \input knuth \relax \stopsetups Yet any codes (\TeX\) are not. Nevertheless, I

Re: [NTG-context] letters in context mkiv

Dear Contex’ers,This morning I have been experimenting with the solutions suggested by Thomas and Wolfgang.Thomas’ solution works, it produces two distinct letters, yet the address is probably on another layer. This means that it is not shifted to the right, at least not with the command

Dear Contex’ers,I still desperately need your help. I would like to use Context mkiv for compiling serial letters with an xml database of addresses. I used to do this in mkii.The problem may seem trivial to experienced programmers like yourselves, but yes, I am stuck.I have several mkiv manuals, I

Dear Contex’ers,I have used the letter module of mkii for serial letters with an xml database (see example), but now I would like to step forward to mkiv.I have found out how to process the xml data from an xml file (now in the buffer). The recipient’s address neatly shows up in the designed
