I find the manual in these places. /tex/texmf-modules/doc/context/third/letter https://bitbucket.org/wolfs/correspondence/downloads There is some guidance about what's new in these messages: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064695.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/065039.html

Michael, thanks a lot. These were in fact the missing links! With the help of the comments in the thread above and looking into the sources I was able to reproduce most of my old letter template. However, I'm struggling to get the enclosures into an itemized list. This used to work with the old letter module but now fails: \startletter[enclosure={A\\B\\C}, ...] --> encl: AcrlfBcrlfC In http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064721.html Wolfgang proposed \startletter[enclosure={list:one,two,three}, ...] to get an itemized list. But this does not seem to be implemented yet. How would I get this right? Wolfgang, I believe I found a bug that introduces some extra space in the backaddress: "fromname, <extra space>, fromaddress".

It does work but you need MkIV: \usemodule[letter] \setupletterdescription [enclosure] [ location=top, leftmargin=1em, symbol=bullet, ] \setupletter [enclosure={list:One,Two,Three}] \startletter \input knuth \stopletter
Wolfgang, I believe I found a bug that introduces some extra space in the backaddress: "fromname, <extra space>, fromaddress". Here is the fix:

Fixed. Wolfgang

Thanks, Wolfgang, got that working now. But I'd like to change the formatting of the list further from encl: * One * Two * Three to encl: One Two Three without symbols. So I tried: \setupletterdescription [enclosure] [symbol=bullet] This did not work so I tried: \definesymbol[nosymbol][{}] \setupletterdescription [enclosure] [symbol=nosymbol] But that results in: encl:<too much space> One <too much space> Two <too much space> Three I cannot remove the extra space with: \setupletterdescription [enclosure] [symbol=nosymbol,distance=0em] Note, that this works: \setupitemize[each][fit][distance=0em] \startitemize \item no extra space before bullet \stopitemize --> *no extra space before bullet However, it does not work with an enumeration once the symbol was removed: \setupitemize[each][fit][symbol={},distance=0em] \startitemize \item item \stopitemize --> <too much space> item Florian

without symbols. So I tried:
\setupletterdescription [enclosure] [symbol=bullet]
This did not work so I tried:
\definesymbol[nosymbol][{}] \setupletterdescription [enclosure] [symbol=nosymbol]
ConTeXt has a empty symbol with the name “none”.
But that results in:
encl:<too much space> One <too much space> Two <too much space> Three
I cannot remove the extra space with:
\setupletterdescription [enclosure] [symbol=nosymbol,distance=0em]
Note, that this works:
\setupitemize[each][fit][distance=0em] \startitemize \item no extra space before bullet \stopitemize
--> *no extra space before bullet
However, it does not work with an enumeration once the symbol was removed:
\setupitemize[each][fit][symbol={},distance=0em]
\setupitemize[each][symbol=none,width=0pt,distance=0pt]
\startitemize \item item \stopitemize
--> <too much space> item
I uploaded a new revision which doesn’t insert an extra space when you use “symbol=none”. Wolfgang

Very helpful indeed!

Good!

Thanks for this quick enhancement, works now! Just for completeness: How do I change the distance between bullet and item text in your original suggestion? Adding 'width=' here does not change anything: \setupletterdescription [enclosure] [ location=top, leftmargin=1em, width=5pt, symbol=bullet ] Florian
