Letter Module: backaddress

Letter Module: backaddress

[Andreas Harder]

Hi,

now that the foldmarks work … how to set the backaddress?

\usemodule[letter]

\setupletterstyle
   [option]
   [backaddress=yes]

\setupletterstyle
   [backaddress]
   [bottomframe=on]

\setupletter
   [fromname={Max Mustermann},
     fromaddress={Musterstr. 12\\123456 Musterstadt}]

\setupletter
   [toname={Empfänger},
     toaddress={Postfach 123456\\60498 Frankfurt am Main}]

\starttext
\startletter
   [opening={Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,},
     closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen}]

   \input tufte
\stopletter
\stoptext


Regards,
	Andreas

Another thing to document, I already forgot who it works.

This setting is not necessary because most elements are enable by  
default,
you could also drop the first bracket pair for global parameters.

>  [backaddress]
>  [bottomframe=on]

\setupletterstyle
   [backaddress]
   [alternative=yes, % default: no
    bottomframe=on]

For alternative you can select between:

- no   : no content for the backaddress
- yes  : use 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'
- auto : check if there is text in the 'backaddress' key, if not then  
use 'fromname' and 'fromaddress'

The separator between each element in the backaddress can be changed  
with

   \setupletterstyle
     [backaddress]
     [separator=...]

the default value is ', ' (comma + space).

Hello Wolfgang,

thank you for your explanations!

One more question: it would be nice if the rule under the back-address  
would have the same length an the back-addres. Is there a convenient  
way? I tried something with \textbackgrounds (example below) but  
without success.

% from the wiki:
\startuseMPgraphic{underline}
   \iftracepositions
     show_multi_pars
   \else
     draw_multi_pars
   \fi ;
   path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ;
   currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-StrutDepth/3) ;
   setbounds currentpicture to p ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definetextbackground
   [underline]
   [location=text,alternative=1,background=underline,frame=off]

\setupletterstyle
   [backaddress]
   [alternative=yes,
   before={\starttextbackground[underline]},
   after=\stoptextbackground]

When I think about the default setup this would make more sense:

\setupletterstyle[backaddress=no]
\setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=auto]

WHat do you think?

\setupletterstyle
   [backaddress]
   [frame]
   [width=fit]

I think it would be more intuitive that way.

Thank you! I tried to set width=fit, but without the frame-option …  
Now one have to care of the width (I think there is no maxwidth-option  
for frame setups?), so I tried to set the backgroundaddress-style to  
style={\ifdim\framedwidth<85mm \tfx \else \tfxx \fi}. But the problem  
is, that \framedwidth measures with the default font size … Or do you  
know a solution? ;)

Bit by bit I get an idea of how to customize the letter-module settings.

I will change this then in the next release, you could then enable the  
backaddress with \setupletterstyle[backaddres=yes]

autowidth=force

Let me think about this (no time at the moment).
