Re: [NTG-context] Letter module not found by LMTX
Hi Lutz and all, mtxrun --generate helped, now it works. I actually don’t know why it worked with MkIV before, since with a MWE both versions behaved the same: didn’t find the module before regenerating the database, and then worked. Sorry for the noise.

Re: [NTG-context] letter: How to customize reference line?
Hi Paul,
you have to use the \setupletterlayer command to change the entries in
the reference line.
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletter
[name={Joe User}]
\setupletterlayer
[reference]
[list={name,date}]
\startletter

If you don’t get a title for your entry you can add it with the
\setuplettertext command.

The solution from chapter 9 also does not work. Still only the date is
shown.
```
\setupletter

\setupletterstyle[reference][list={name,date}]

Do I need to create a new customized reference line to add other
fields next to the date to the reference line?

British letters typically have the subject below the opening.
A stackexchange user asked many moons ago how to accomplish this in
ConTeXt, and received a rather hackish response
(https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/22438/how-to-place-the-subject-line-under-the-greeting-line-in-t-letter-module-in-cont).
ConTeXt and the letter module have changed a lot since then, if my
experience is correct. Is there a better solution than given there?
Best,
Parchd.

In answer to my own question, the following is certainly nicer than what
I found on stackexchange. Perhaps there is still something better,
though?

[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.

Hi,
How could I embed \startletter/\stopletter in a macro please?
This does not work:
--8---cut here---start-8---
\usemodule[letter]
\def\myStartLetter{\startletter}
\def\myStopLetter{\stopletter}
\myStartLetter
\input tufte
\myStopLetter
--8---cut here---end---8---
TIA for any hints,

The module uses a buffer to store the content of the letter environment.
What you can do is to create a new buffer for your environment and feed
the content of this buffer to the letter module.
\usemodule[letter]
\startsetups[letter:section:content]
\getbuffer[MyLetter]
\stopsetups
\setuplettersection[content][alternative=setups]
\def\StartLetter
{\starttext
\grabbufferdata[MyLetter][StartLetter][StopLetter]}
\def\StopLetter
{\placeletter
\stoptext}
\StartLetter
\input tufte
\StopLetter

I added them but there can be know other problems because I made more changes

[NTG-context] Letter module: signature with externalfigure fails
Hello List,
I tried to include a signature (tried pdf, svg, png, shipped pictures)
in my letter and it always fails.
Example taken from correspondence.pdf Version 2010.08.27:
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletter[signature={\externalfigure[cow][height=2\lineheight]}]
\starttext
\startletter
Thus, I came to the conclusion ...
\stopletter
\stoptext
Results in:
system tex error on line 6 in file bla.mkiv: Undefined control
sequence ...
[...]
! == Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1
Latest ConTeXt version, updated today because of the other version too
old bug in the letter module.
Kind regards

I just installed the Letter module with : ./first-setup.sh --extras=t-letter It runs with no error, but no .pdf file is created (in fact, only .log and .tuc are created), even though the .log file says : mkiv lua stats result saved in file - Letter.pdf Could it be due to an intel somewhere in some file of the Letter module that I should change for 64 ?

A side effect from context how it reads key-val-settings,
the two setting
\setupfoo[key=value]
and
\setupfoo[key=value ]
are different. In the first setup the argument for the key
is „value“ while in the second it is „value “ with a space
at the end, because of this you need the comma after
the right brace.

[NTG-context] letter module, backaddress placement
Dear Wolfgang,
the default vertical placement of the backaddress is to high in dinb.nls.
When I change the offset from
\c!voffset=\dimexpr\letterstylevalue{\v!address\v!layer}\c!voffset-\letterstylevalue{\v!backaddress\v!frame}\c!height\relax]
to
\c!voffset=\dimexpr\letterstylevalue{\v!address\v!layer}\c!voffset+\letterstylevalue{\v!backaddress\v!frame}\c!height\relax]
(addition instead of subtraction) everything is fine.
Best wishes,
Florian

Re: [NTG-context] letter: backaddress
Hallo Wolfgang,
You're mixing different things.
What is the difference between
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
With \setupletterstyle[element=yes|no] you can show or hide
elements
ok!
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=yes]
In 'default.nli' I found
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!auto]
{\doifelselettervalue\c!backaddress
{\lettervalue\c!backaddress}
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}}
what I interpret in the following way:
If 'backaddress'=auto
If exist a constant 'backaddress'
use it
else
compose one from 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
The constant needs a content, if there is no content for
'backadress' the field is filled with 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'.
So let's test if I have understand this:
With
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=no|yes]
one can disable|enable a backaddress.
With
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=no|yes|auto]
one can select between
no backadress|

the yes behaviour if no predefined backaddress is defined
And to define such a own backaddress, one uses
\setlettervalue{backaddress}{something}
Hopefully this is right!

When you want something which can be used for
\setupletterstyle[1][alternative=2]
you need \defineletterelement[1][2]{...}, which
\setlettervalue{A}{B} you set
a variable which can be used with \lettervalue{A}, e.g.
\usemodule[letter]
\defineletterelement[foot][myalternative]{\midaligned{Can you see me?}}
\setupletterstyle[footer][alternative=myalternative]
\setlettervalue{bankleitzahl}{7643}
%\setlettervalue{kontonummer}{}
\starttext \startletter
\lettervalue{bankleitzahl}
\doifelselettervalue{kontonummer}
{Die Kontonummer lautet \lettervalue{kontonummer}}
{Keine Kontonummer angegeben}
\stopletter \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] letter: backaddress
Hallo,
\setupletterstyle[backaddress=yes]
it's a disabled by default but i forgot to do this also in the
default style
(most styles reset the layout and use default values before they
modify it)
\setupletterstyle
[backaddress]
[alternative=auto,
'auto' is now the default value
Wolfgang
I do not understand the the main principle.
What is the difference between
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
and
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=yes]
In 'default.nli' I found
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!auto]
{\doifelselettervalue\c!backaddress
{\lettervalue\c!backaddress}
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}}
what I interpret in the following way:
If 'backaddress'=auto
If exist a constant 'backaddress'
use it
else
compose one from 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
To use this, I tried to set
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=auto]
or
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=auto]
And I tried to set this constant backaddress, with
setlettervalue{backaddress}{something}
But no combination is working.
What worked is
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
\setlettervalue{backaddress}{something}
which should not work, because
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!yes]
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}
is composing the 'backaddress' from the fromdata.
My skills to read the sourcecode are very limited, so most likely I
buhave something misunderstood.

You're mixing different things.
What is the difference between
\setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes]
In t-letter.tex you can fint this:
\startsetups[\v!letter:\v!layer]
\doif\lsoptionmarking
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!foldmark }}
\doif\lsoptionbackaddress\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!backaddress}}
\doif\lsoptionaddress
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!address}}
\doif\lsoptionreference
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!reference }}
\doif\lsoptionlocation
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!location }}
\doif\lsoptionlettermain
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!lettermain }}
\doif\lsoptionletternext
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!letternext }}
\stopsetups
With \setupletterstyle[element=yes|no] you can show or hide elements
(like the foldmarks or the backaddress) in the output.
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=yes]
In 'default.nli' I found
\defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!auto]
{\doifelselettervalue\c!backaddress
{\lettervalue\c!backaddress}
{\lettervalue\c!fromname
\doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
\lettervalue\c!fromaddress}}
what I interpret in the following way:
If 'backaddress'=auto
If exist a constant 'backaddress'
use it
else
compose one from 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
The constant needs a content, if there is no content for 'backadress'
the field is filled with 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'.
\defineletterelements creates a macro, where the first argument is
the name of the elements and the second a name for the alternative,
e.g. \defineletterelement[element][alternative]{definition}
You can use the created element with
\setupletterstyle[element][alternative=alterntive],
in your case \setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=auto]
When you don't like this mechanism you can use the internal
element setups itself with
\startsetups letter:backaddress
...
\stopsetups

Re: [NTG-context] letter-module: reference
Hallo Wolfgang,
I am trying to make a simple invoice with Wolfgangs letter-module
and
have some questions:
I have the following reference in mind
\setupletterstyle[reference][
alternative=d,
list={invoice,taxnumber,phone,date}]
1) How can one position this horizontaly and verticaly?
Manual: Section 9.3 and 9.7
This means, that one has to make a customized reference?
2) How can I define additional keys like 'taxnumber'?
I have found a key 'frombank' but it is to long for the ref-line and
Manual: Chapter 5
Sorry, I must have tomatoes on my eyes but I can not find a command
in this chapter which defines a new key. I found \setuplabeltext
which sets the labeltext of a defined key and I found \setlettervalue
which sets label and value at once.

Wolfgang
I'm trying to emulate my college's stationery. The layers I made
include one graphic and two boxes of text.
We use the graphic and two text boxes on the first page of a letter.
The other pages use plain sheets of paper.
You also showed me how to get the effect I want in a separate
message. This solution worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
The solution:
\usemodule[letter]
\definelayer[PC][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\startsetups PC
\setlayer[PC][y=20pt]{...}
\setlayer[PC][x=..,y=..]{...}
\stopsetups
\setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,background=PC]
... % more settings
\starttext
\startletter
...
\stopletter
... % more letters

As I understand it, \setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,…] means
that those setups are repeated with every letter. Hence, the desired
effect.
Thanks again!

Thank you! I tried to set width=fit, but without the frame-option …
Now one have to care of the width (I think there is no maxwidth-option
for frame setups?), so I tried to set the backgroundaddress-style to
style={\ifdim\framedwidth85mm \tfx \else \tfxx \fi}. But the problem
is, that \framedwidth measures with the default font size … Or do you

Bit by bit I get an idea of how to customize the letter-module settings.

I will change this then in the next release, you could then enable the

[NTG-context] letter module: different first page for multiple letters in one file
I have one file containing several letters that I process using
Wolfgang's letter module.
I have a special background for the first page of a letter. I define
and set three layers: PCLogo, PCDept, and PCAddress. Here is a
representative example:
\definelayer
[PCLogo]
[width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight,
preset=lefttop,
y=20pt,
state=start]
Then I make these layers backgrounds like so:
\setupletterstyle[lettermain][background={PCLogo,PCDept,PCAddress}]
The result I *get* is that the first letter in the file gets the
background on its first page as normal. But the subsequent letters do
not. Their first pages are plain.
The result I *want* is for each letter to have the background on its
first page, like the first letter in the file gets.
How can I achieve that?
Thank you!
Michael

Re: [NTG-context] letter module: Argument of \dodoubletestempty has an extra }
Hi Peter, the message you get is a side effect of the buffer code for mkii, although i have a fix for the context code it won't be applied because unwanted side effects can't be be guaranteed. As you should have noticed your example worked in a older release where i used a different method to store the letter content which was changed due to some limitations (e.g. \startlines is not possible). You can force the old processing method with \setupletterstyle [method=store]. Other solutions are to add \relay after \startletter because this stops contexts optional argument grabber or to leave a blank line after \startletter.
