Re: [NTG-context] Letter module not found by LMTX

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

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.

[kaddour kardio]

Dear Hraban, as far as I know LMTX doesn't provide the modules , so you
just need to download the needed modules and put them in the proper
directory

Re: [NTG-context] letter: How to customize reference line?

[Wolfgang Schuster]

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
...
\stopletter


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


\setuplettertext[de][mobile=Mobilfunknummer]

Paul Menzel

Dear ConTeXt folks,


I am trying to customize the reference line in a letter.

```
$ context --version

mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.01
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv

mtx-context | current version: 2017.05.15 21:48
```

The example from Wolfgang’s `correspondence.pdf` [1] doesn’t work for me.

```
\setupletter
  [name={Joe User},
   date=\currentdate]

\setupletter
  [list={name,date}]
```

Only the date is shown in the reference line.

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


```
\setupletter
  [name={Joe User},
   date=\currentdate]

\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?



Kind regards,

Paul

Re: [NTG-context] Letter module: Subject below opening

[Wolfgang Schuster]

\usemodule[letter]

\startletter
  [subject={How to change the position of the subject line},
   opening={Hi Parchd,}]

The elements of the letter environment can be changed with the 
\tex{setupletterelements} commands,

the default order of them is

\startitemize[packed]
\item title,
\item subject,
\item opening,
\item content,
\item closing and
\item appendices
\stopitemize

To put the subject after the opening you have to modify this order with 
the following setup:


\starttyping
\setupletterelements
  [section]
  [title,
   opening,
   subject,
   content,
   closing,
   appendices]
\stoptyping

\stopletter

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?

Thank you Wolfgang.

Follow-up question: how to have a right margin appear on the right side of 
every booklet page?

The layouts I have tried with the following mwe put the right margin on the cut 
side of the paper, but that “reverses” the margin side from the reader’s view 
when printed and folded.


\definepapersize[booklet][width=140mm,height=216mm]
\setuppapersize[booklet][letter,landscape]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuparranging[2UP,doublesided]

\setuplayout[
  width=90mm,
  leftedge=0mm,  
  leftmargin=0mm,
  backspace=15mm,
  rightmargindistaince=3mm,
  rightmargin=25mm,
  ]

\showframe

\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{\input ward \page}
\stoptext

1. Set your document doublesided with

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]


2. Reduce the width of the backspace

\setuplayout[backspace=10mm]

To put a image in the background you can use the “backgroundimage” key for the 
\setupletteroptions
command, the image will then be placed in the back of each page.


\usemodule[letter]

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]  

\setupletteroptions[backgroundimage=mill]

\startletter
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth\par}
\stopletter


You can also use the “lettermain” and “letternext” layers when you want more 
control about the placement
of the backgrounds. What’s missing in your setup above is to remove the offset 
for background which can
be done with \setupletterframe[…][offset=overlay], to control on which page the 
image is shown you can
use the “state” key for \setupletterlayer.


\usemodule[letter]

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]  

\startsetups[letter:layer:lettermain]
  \externalfigure[mill][width=210mm,height=297mm]
\stopsetups

\setupletterlayer
 [lettermain]
 [x=0mm,
  y=0mm,
 %state=repeat,
  alternative=setups]

\setupletterframe
 [lettermain]
 [offset=overlay]

\startletter
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth\par}
\stopletter

Re: [NTG-context] Letter module

[Mo Abrahams]

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.

I put a new version online with fixes this, you can avoid the disappearing of 
the first letter by adding a empty line after \startletter.

Thanks Wolfgang.

How could I add something at the start and at the end of the letter?

This does not work:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\def\StartLetter
  {\starttext
   \grabbufferdata[MyLetter][StartLetter][StopLetter]
   something at the start of the letter}

\def\StopLetter
  {something at the end of the letter
   \placeletter
   \stoptext}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

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

I added them but there can be know other problems because I made more changes 
in the labels regarding constants/variables.

This is a normal behavior of buffers in MkIV, you need always a balanced 
start/stop pair.

The same message arise also with \starttyping:

Is the letter module installed?

There had been a few changes in the context suite (former standalone and 
minimals):

1. modules moved from texmf-context to texmf-modules and
2. the parameter to install modules has changed from “--extras=…” to 
“--modules=…”.

It depends on Hans because it’s a buffer problem:


Fixed in next beta (for WS: it's more a viafile related problem .. as

The three lines are for punching and folding the letter, you can hide them with

Great, it works now, thank you very much Wolfgang and Mojca !
However, I get 3 dashes in the left margin, one about half-way the paper

No matter what I put in the letter, their positions don't change, and they

I tested a bit and it seems that
\doifolderversionelse\contextversion
is not too reliable. If I test with TeX Live (2011.05.18) then the following
\doifolderversionelse\contextversion{2011.05.31}{older}{newer}
returns "older" no matter what day in May I chose.

Subject: [NTG-context] Letter module : pdf not created









Hi,
I work with MkIV (ConTeXt Minimals) on a Mac (64).
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" ?
Anyone has an idea, or has encountered the same problem ?
Thanks for any help !

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.

I meant the backaddress frame, though. This works analogously:

\setupletterstyle

  [width=fit]

I have only on question left:

\setupletterstyle

  [alternative=e,

I uploaded a new version where you disable the automatic placement of the 
reference line and the start of the letter text with

  \setupletterstyle[position=no] % default: position=yes

To remove the overlap of the information block and the reference you need the 
following settings in your style:

\setupletterstyle   [position=no]
\setupletterstyle[reference][voffset=11cm]
\setupletterstyle[firstpage][topspace=12cm,bottomspace=4cm]

> 2) The footer has not enough space before and after.

The module has no default values for the footer because the din layouts ignore 
the foot but this should work:

\setupletterstyle
  [foot]
  [style=small]

\setupletterstyle
  [foot][layer]
  [voffset=1cm]

\setupletterstyle
  [foot][frame]
  [width=\textwidth,
   height=2.5cm,
   topframe=on]

\startsetups letter:foot
  A custom footer\\that is\\longer than\\three lines\\and misses space before 
and after and has strange linespacing.\par
\stopsetups

> 3) It would be nice to have a bottomframe for the backaddress field that is

\setupletterstyle
  [reference][frame]
  [width=fit]

Thanks! Of cause, a commented minimal example is attached.

I have two problems and a wish:

1) The reference line and the following subject line are placed too high.

2) The footer has not enough space before and after.

3) It would be nice to have a bottomframe for the backaddress field that is not 
longer than then the text itself.

All the best,

With the predefined styles for the reference line i ignore the topspace value 
and use a calculated value. This value depends on the bottom of the address 
block and the height of the reference line plus a space be fore and after the 
reference line.

Can you make a example where this calculation goes wrong!

Nice to know!

Actually it was not the gap that bothered me. You are right, DIN 676 B says 
45mm. But this seems to be useless as all window envelopes (that I possess) 
have their window at 50mm. It defeats the purpose of the backaddress field, 
which is hidden by the DIN layout. Shouldn't they be able to read it in the 
Post office in case the addressee is wrong?

Puzzled,
Florian

The position of the backaddress os correct but i think you don’t like the large 
gap between the backaddress and the address. The gap is there because it’s 
specified in the german din layout where the address field has nine lines with 
the first three lines reserved for dispatch information, a easy way to get rid 
of this space is to disable the dispatch field with

\setupletterstyle[dispatch=no]

When you want something which can be used for

you need \defineletterelement[<1>][<2>]{...}, which 
\setlettervalue{}{} you set

a variable which can be used with \lettervalue{}, e.g.

\usemodule[letter]

\defineletterelement[foot][myalternative]{\midaligned{Can you see me?}}

\setupletterstyle[footer][alternative=myalternative]

\setlettervalue{bankleitzahl}{7643}

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|
a composed backaddress from the fromdata|
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!

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\lsoptionlocation

\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!lettermain }}
  \doif\lsoptionletternext 
\v!yes{\directsetup{\v!letter:\v!place:\v!letternext }}


\stopsetups

With \setupletterstyle[=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[][]{definition}

You can use the created element with 
\setupletterstyle[][alternative=],

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

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.

Why so complicated, when you include a key in the reference list

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.

Hallo,

I am trying to make a simple invoice with Wolfgangs letter-module and

I have the following reference in mind

\setupletterstyle[reference][

1) How can one position this horizontaly and verticaly?
   

Manual: Section 9.3 and 9.7

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

I will put this in the footer, but

\setupfootertexts[bla][blub]

does not work

3) I have found a variable 'foot'. How can this be used?
   

See question 1.

\defineletterelement[foot][invoice]
  {...}

\setupletterstyle[foot][alternative=invoice]

4) Is it possible to use 'frombank' in other positions than the ref-
line, in the footer per example?
   

\lettervalue{frombank} and \labeltext{letter:frombank}

I forgot how to tell context to produce a verbose log,
but the hint was right. 

I normaly install the letter module in a local tex tree, but have 
made an update before with

call first-setup --extras="t-letter"

and this has installed the letter module in the standard tree where 
it was not found.

Sorry for this!

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

\stoptext



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

Hi,

now that the foldmarks work … how to set the backaddress?


Another thing to document, I already forgot who it works.


\setupletterstyle
 [option]
 [backaddress=yes]


This setting is not necessary because most elements are enable by  
default,

you could also drop the first bracket pair for global parameters.


\setupletterstyle
 [backaddress]
 [bottomframe=on]


\setupletterstyle
  [backaddress]
  [alternative=yes, % default: no
   bottomframe=on]

For alternative you can select between:

- no   : no content for the backaddress
- yes  : use 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
- auto : check if there is text in the 'backaddress' key, if not then  
use 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'


The separator between each element in the backaddress can be changed  
with


  \setupletterstyle
[backaddress]
[separator=...]

the default value is ', ' (comma + space).

Hi,

for some time now, I try to figure out, how to enable fold marks in  
the

letter module.


Fold marks are enabled by default but there was a bug in the code, I  
uploaded a new release.


There are different ways to enable and disable all of them, the  
'marking' key could be used
to hide all of them (making=no) but you can also disable certain ones  
with the individual name,

the default setup is:

\setupletterstyle
  [marking=yes, % enable all marks
   topmark=yes,
   botmatk=yes,
   cutmark=yes, % vertical middle of the paper for cutting
   endmark=no, % relict from typewriter time to indicate the end of  
the paper

   usermark=no] % no purpose, could be used for whatever you want

For letters with more than one page it is sometimes usefull to show  
the marks only on
the first page or for doublesided letters (it's possible but who  
want's this) you can

control this with (multiple values can be given as argument to state):

  \setupletterstyle
[]
[state=]

  start : show mark on the first page
  stop  : disable mark
  first : show mark on the first page
  next  : show mark on the second and all following pages
  left  : show mark only on left pages
  right : show mark only on right pages
  leftpage  : show mark only on left pages
  rightpage : show mark only on right pages

Re: [NTG-context] letter module: Argument of \dodoubletestempty has an extra }

[Wolfgang Schuster]

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

Other solutions are to add \relay after \startletter because this stops
contexts optional argument grabber or to leave a blank line after  
\startletter.

or the width of the entries (\setupletter)?

Thank you! Offset works, width doesn't (i.e. stays automatical).

mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=... helps to find the right

I know, it's in the wiki (Fonts_in_LuaTeX). Thanks anyway.


BTW: You can another example for the use of the simplefonts module

Just wanted to ask if you published the source anywhere - didn't check

Now I have enough examples for the moment, I think ;-)

I found where the other keys are defined (and I guess I could mine

where the translation comes from - I grepped eg. after "Telefon"  
without results, and I think I looked into every file of your module.


I guess it would be interesting how to define your own keys, maybe  
some IM adresses etc., also for other users.

Would it be possible to use unknown keys just unchanged? I.e. if I say


I don't define keys in my module, I set only labels for the text in  
the left column
which can be find in the file 'label.nle', to get a text for skype,  
street etc. put
the following lines in your document (or add them to label.nle and

Re: [NTG-context] Letter module - appendices

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I uploaded a new version with the appendices handling, here is a  
example how
to use them. All of them are optional and will appear in the output in  
the

order you write them in the text.

\usemodule[letter]

\starttext

\startletter

\input knuth

% To get a prefix for the postscript write 'PS:' in the text
% or use a labeltext, e.g. \setuplabeltext[en][letter:postscript=PS: ]

\ps{Postscript}

\cc{List of recipients}

\encl{Enclosed documents}

\stopletter

\stoptext

I will use now \ps, \cc and \encl. I already dropped \copy because TeX
has a \copy primitive and both conflict with longer letter (>1 pages).

Dear Wolfgang,

I use your module voor an association. I have no problem if you  
change the CC and PS part.


Kind regards

Hi,

I know at least a few people use my letter module and I want to ask
them if they have a problem when I change the handling of appendices
like CC and postscript.

The current way to write them is

\startletter
  [copy=...,
   postscript=...]
...
\stopletter

and I want to change this in

\startletter
...
\CC{...} % or \copy{...}
\PS{...} % or \postscript{...}
\stopletter

As positive side effect of the new method would be to write

\startletter
\opening{...}
...
\closing{...}
\stopletter

as a alternative way to write the opening and closing text (the old  
keyval

works too) but the appendices can be only handled in one way.

You can write the setting for the paper size in a new file with
the namer user.nls and put it somewhere in your TeX directory
where ConTeXt could find it. It's similiar to cont-usr.tex because
my module loads for every letter you write.

Yes, I have to use US lettersize paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches) for  
the physical paper on which my letters are printed. For long letters,  
I use a narrower textarea, but I don't think that's what you're

You could save private settings you need in every letter in the file user.nls
(I included user.ori as example) and save it in your TeX directory where
ConTeXt could find the file.

It's an ugly one !

This one look good. Sometime you can see « Ville et date » (town and
date) under « Coordonnées du recruteurs », like in the link under. But
I just call my grand-father (94 years, from the time they learn how to
write a letter in school) and he told me that the Place and Date are
above !

See the « Place and Date » question above.

The sender should not be centered in the page.

Maybe small diffrence because the creator is from suisse ! But it's a
« reference ».

> http://www.la-lettre.com/

Not realy intresting for us.


Remaning question are alignment. What should be flushed left, right…
The Latex extention create a center environment in the upper left. For
me it looks ugly… I realy prefer it to be left fluched.

Olivier.

You can add your information to [1].

AFAIK there is no official letter style in france. I started to write I style
a  based on the lettre class for LaTeX but it's no finished and it's better
to let user decide what layout thex want.

I put a new version online and names changed, the setups is now:

\setupletterstyle
  [dispatch]
  [height=0pt]

or

\setupletterstyle
  [option]
  [dispatch=no]

and

\setupletterstyle
  [addressee]
  [location=normal,
   align={right,lohi},
   height=\vsize]

Regards
Wolfgang
