Re: [NTG-context] PDF-Toc text is wrong for new \start? commands

      Have you tried formatting it this way:

\startsection
    [title={my fancy section}]

    bla
\stopsection

Breaking before closing or after opening the square braces has always
given trouble to me.

muy sencillo doblegar a la gente, sea una democracia, una dictadura
fascista, un parlamento o una dictadura comunista. Con voz o sin voz,
la gente siempre podrá entregarse a la voluntad de sus líderes. Es
fácil. Lo único que hay que hacer es decirles que están siendo
atacados, y denunciar a los pacifistas por su falta de patriotismo y
exponer el país al peligro. Funciona igual en todos los países."

Subject: [NTG-context] Some questions about the letter module
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Dear all,
(This is a repeat post. I apologize if that's rude, but I would appreciate
some assistance with the letter module or a pointer to documentation.
Thanks.)
I am using the letter module that came with context.   A sample of a basic
letter is below; I have put in "dummy" for the logo and the signature, but
these are working fine when I include the files.
I have several questions:
1. to center the footer.
   2. to lower the  footer (closer to the bottom of the page)
   3. to delete the word "Date" above the date.
   4. to put the date *above *the recipient address (and how in general do
   I adjust the vertical space here).
   5. to left-justify the date.
   6. to control the foldmarks (for US-letter-size paper, omit, etc.)
I have consulted http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter but there are many
things I don't understand.   What is the meaning  of "alternative=example";
what is the option "preset="  in \setuplayer[foot] ?
Also is there a better way to manage color?  I \definecolor, \startcolor,
\stopcolor, but maybe there is a better way to indicate that certain
sections of the letter should be in a color.  Thanks.
Thank you very much for your guidance.
Yours,
Michael
