Need help with the "letter" module

Need help with the "letter" module

[Matija Šuklje]

Hullo,

I'm trying to write a letter, but it gets all screwy. The first batch of 
letter settings works OK (opening, closing, signature); but then the from* 
and to* blocks fail resulting in a PDF that just quotes that code on a 
separate page.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong although I'm looking at the manuals:
http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-
letter/doc/context/third/letter/correspondence.pdf

MkII from TexLive 2008.

Any help welcome :]

The following should not be a separate parameter. If you put another 
\setupletter in front of it, it should work. Or just leave out the 
additional [] pairs.

--> \setupletter[opening=..., closing=..., signature=..., fromname=..., 
fromaddress=...,toname=...,toaddress=...]

I usually prefer to split it up:
\setupletter[opening.....]
\setupletter[fromname......]
\setupletter[toname.....]

Oooooh, OK. Makes sense in a way. Thanks :]

New problem:

Using the \ps{} command results in failure to generate the PDF, claiming \ps 
is not defined.

Is it perhaps not included in MkII (or Tex Live 2008)?

Is it normal that an empty line in the "letter" module does *not* trigger a 
paragraph?

The \ps, \cc etc. commands where added after the TeXLive 2008 release.

Using the latest version from thr garden/CTAN/minimals won't help because
it's not compatible with ConTeXt versions before 2009 due to changes in
ConTeXt itself.

What you can do is upgrade to TeXLive 2009 or install the ConTeXt minimals.

Hi Andreas,

thank you answering the question.

Here is a new feature from the last version (4. April) which works only 
in mkiv:

\usemodule[letter]

\starttext

\startletter
\input knuth\par
\ps{postscript}
\cc{carbon copy}
\encl{enclosure}
\stopletter

\startletter[postscript={postscript},copy={carbon 
copy},enclosure={enclosure}]
\input knuth\par
\stopletter

\stoptext

Wolfgang

Different characters in two fonts

[Mehdi Omidali]

Hi all,
When I use $\cong$, two different characters are displayed with "Latin 
Modern Math" and "Cambria". In fact, the one for Cambria is the correct 
one. Is this a problem of "Latin Modern font" (itself or context settings)?

It's definitely not the problem with the font itself, but maybe with
ConTeXt files. I cannot test since it doesn't work with mkiv on my
version of ConTeXt at all.

! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set.
l.2 a$\cong$

?

Thus it may make sense to wait for a new version of ConTeXt and new LuaTeX.
