letter module: File ended while scanning use of \buff_gobble
Hi, How could I embed \startletter/\stopletter in a macro please? This does not work: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \usemodule[letter] \def\myStartLetter{\startletter} \def\myStopLetter{\stopletter} \myStartLetter \input tufte \myStopLetter --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- TIA for any hints, -- Peter

The module uses a buffer to store the content of the letter environment. What you can do is to create a new buffer for your environment and feed the content of this buffer to the letter module. \usemodule[letter] \startsetups[letter:section:content] \getbuffer[MyLetter] \stopsetups \setuplettersection[content][alternative=setups] \def\StartLetter {\starttext \grabbufferdata[MyLetter][StartLetter][StopLetter]} \def\StopLetter {\placeletter \stoptext} \StartLetter \input tufte \StopLetter Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang. How could I add something at the start and at the end of the letter? This does not work: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \def\StartLetter {\starttext \grabbufferdata[MyLetter][StartLetter][StopLetter] something at the start of the letter} \def\StopLetter {something at the end of the letter \placeletter \stoptext} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- TIA for any help, -- Peter

\startrawsetups[letter:section:content] Text before the content of the letter. \getbuffer[MyLetter] Text after the content of the letter. \stoprawsetups Wolfgang

Yes, thanks! (I forgot about this part, because in my setup it was hidden in another file...) In the meantime I've played with the lua buffers functions: \def\StopLetter{% \ctxlua{buffers.prepend("MyLetter", "START")} \ctxlua{buffers.append("MyLetter", "\\relax STOP")} \placeletter \stoptext} This works also quite well. buffers.prepend() does not yet exist. Hans, could you please add it? It could be perhaps useful one day. -- Peter
