Hi,
I am writing a letter with the 'letter' module (mkiv and last beta) and the \encl{} command doesn't work anymore. I know that the module has been rewriten recently but I can't find any doc or examples of the new syntax. I tried to look at the source code but it doesn't help.
So is there any command which replace \encl{}? And is there any documentation (even succint) of the new module?
With the new version of the module I tried to get rid of a few things which lead to problems or which didn’t fit into context normal syntax. The \encl, \cc and \ps had been such a thing and all three value can now only bet set as keyval argument, e.g. \startletter[enclosure=…] There isn’t a new documentation yet but I’ll give a short overview. There is now only one way to set values for the letter variables in this is \setupletter with it’s keyval syntax, e.g. \setupletter[name=…,address=…]. The \setlettervalue command from the previous version is gone and won’t come back. The letter environment has now only optional argument which acts like a local version of \setupletter where the values are only used in the environment. When you use your document only for a single letter without anything else you can even drop \starttext and \stoptext because this is handled by \startletter and \stopletter. To change the labels in the reference line for the “Date” string you have to use the \setuplettertext command, a special version of \setuplabeltext only for the letter module. Styles are still loaded with \useletterstyle but when you want to put your own settings in a style file you have to name the file “letter-<style>.tex|mkiv”. To load the style you need only the <style> part as argument for the command because the “letter-” part is always added. It doesn't matter if you use tex or mkiv as file extension because the file is found in either case. Wolfgang
