I don't think "line" is documented in your manual. You're right but it's so boring to write documentation.
;-) You don't need to write it step by step like in your manual, but a reference of options would be really helpful!
The step by step method is only used to know how to write a simple letter, I won't use this to explain the option etc., what I want there are examples for predefined and user created element alternatives.
I wrote: You need need to define all possible labels yourself, as long it's comprehensible how to add your own.
I will add a section for this but if a label is useful I want to add it to the core.
I'm only writing letters in one language at a time, so will others. It was only a suggestion to take the key as label as a fallback - mostly it will be easy enough, and you don't need to define a proper label.
I have to check if this can be done (in a good way) and if I like this fallback method.
So, here we are: I'd like to change the reference table of alternative "e" a little bit to fit my logo:
voffset=130mm, % absolute coordinates hoffset=40mm, width=20mm, % width of label
It doesn't work in \setupletterstyle[reference][]. Where must I put it? Or should I define my own alternative, like yours in default.nli ?
The alternatives a–e are not so easy to move to the place you prefer because the start of the bodytext depends on the position (I try to keep always two lines between them) but you can copy the layout of one element to another one with \copyletterlement[<element>][<new alternative>][<old alternative>] which looks for you \copyletterelement[reference][hraban][e] You can now place the reference line with \setupletterstyle [reference] [hoffset=..., voffset=...] and the width of the elements in the reference line with \setupletter [phone,street,...] [width=20mm]
BTW: I'm using your simplefonts module for the first time in the same project - works great, thank you! (I had to refresh my font database several times, until LuaTeX could find all faces of my font family, but that's not your module's fault.)
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=... helps to find the right name. BTW: You can another example for the use of the simplefonts module in the source of the correspondence manual (correspondence- environment.tex). Wolfgang
