PS Would it be feasible to add a PDF-certificate-signer so that ConTeXt prompts for a passphrase and produces a signed PDF? This would be particularly useful in the letter module but would in fact be welcome throughout.
Dear all,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:
- to center the footer.
- to lower the footer (closer to the bottom of the page)
- to delete the word "Date" above the date.
- to put the date above the recipient address (and how in general do I adjust the vertical space here).
- to left-justify the date.
- 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\usemodule[letter]\setuppapersize[letter][letter]\definecolor[maroon][h=990033]\setuplanguage [en] [date={dd, month, year}]\setupletteroptions[language=english,bodyfont={rm,12pt},]% Define logo for the first page\defineletterelement[layer][head][example]%{\framed[background=logohead,height=25mm,frame=off,align=left]%{\externalfigure[dummy]}}% We put our logo in the head\setupletterlayer[head][alternative=example,x=9mm,y=10mm]\defineletterelement[layer][foot][example]%{\startcolor[maroon] \ss \tfx The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution. \stopcolor}\setupletterlayer[foot][align=centerbottom,alternative=example]\setupletter[name={Michael Ash},dept={Department of Economics},building={Thompson Hall},street={200 Hicks Way},city={Amherst, MA 01003-9277},phone={+1-413-545-2590},fax={+1-413-545-2921},email={mash@econs.umass.edu}]\defineletterelement[layer][location][example]%{\setuptabulate[bodyfont=normal]\startcolor[maroon]\starttabulate[|lw(.4\textwidth)|rw(.55\textwidth)|]\NC \tfa \sc University of Massachusetts \NC \NR\NC \tfa \sc Amherst \NC \correspondenceparameter{dept} \NR\NC \NC \NR\NC\correspondenceparameter{building} \NC tel \correspondenceparameter{phone} \NR\NC\correspondenceparameter{street} \NC fax \correspondenceparameter{fax}\NC\NR\NC\correspondenceparameter{city} \NC \correspondenceparameter{email} \NC\NR\stoptabulate\stopcolor}\setupletterlayer[location][alternative=example,x=42mm,y=4mm]\starttext\startletter[toname={Professor Addressee},toaddress={123 West Home Ave.\\Chicago, IL 60614},opening={Dear Dr. Addressee,},subject={A test letter},closing={Best regards,},signature={\externalfigure[dummy]\\Michael Ash}]Thank you very much for the invitation I am truly honored by theopportunity and delighted to attend.
