letter module, vertical offset of reference line
Hi, I need to adjust the vertical position of the reference line (as well as subject, opening etc.) because the info-block is longer than the addressee-block to the left. With alternative=customized I can use \setupletterstyle [firstpage] [topspace=...] However with alternative a and e setting topspace has no effect. Also \setupletterstyle [reference] [voffset=...] changes the offset for alternative=customized, only. Best, Florian

With the predefined styles for the reference line i ignore the topspace value and use a calculated value. This value depends on the bottom of the address block and the height of the reference line plus a space be fore and after the reference line. Can you make a example where this calculation goes wrong!

Thanks! Of cause, a commented minimal example is attached. I have two problems and a wish: 1) The reference line and the following subject line are placed too high. 2) The footer has not enough space before and after. 3) It would be nice to have a bottomframe for the backaddress field that is not longer than then the text itself. All the best, Florian

I have two problems and a wish:
1) The reference line and the following subject line are placed too high.
I uploaded a new version where you disable the automatic placement of the reference line and the start of the letter text with \setupletterstyle[position=no] % default: position=yes To remove the overlap of the information block and the reference you need the following settings in your style: \setupletterstyle [position=no] \setupletterstyle[reference][voffset=11cm] \setupletterstyle[firstpage][topspace=12cm,bottomspace=4cm]
2) The footer has not enough space before and after.
The module has no default values for the footer because the din layouts ignore the foot but this should work: \setupletterstyle [foot] [style=small] \setupletterstyle [foot][layer] [voffset=1cm] \setupletterstyle [foot][frame] [width=\textwidth, height=2.5cm, topframe=on] \startsetups letter:foot A custom footer\\that is\\longer than\\three lines\\and misses space before and after and has strange linespacing.\par \stopsetups
3) It would be nice to have a bottomframe for the backaddress field that is not longer than then the text itself.
\setupletterstyle [reference][frame] [width=fit] Wolfgang

Great, this works perfectly - thank you!

\setupletterstyle [reference][frame] [width=fit]
I meant the backaddress frame, though. This works analogously: \setupletterstyle [backaddress][frame] [width=fit] I have only on question left: \setupletterstyle [reference] [alternative=e, list={yourref,yourmail}, % Why is the trailing comma needed? % Without it, the reference line % vanishes completely. ] Best wishes, Florian

Just a typo, i wanted the backaddress too.
\setupletterstyle [backaddress][frame] [width=fit]

A side effect from context how it reads key-val-settings, the two setting \setupfoo[key=value] and \setupfoo[key=value ] are different. In the first setup the argument for the key is „value“ while in the second it is „value “ with a space at the end, because of this you need the comma after the right brace. Wolfgang
