[***SPAM***] Invoice Example

[***SPAM***] Invoice Example

[hwitloc]

I copied the three files required for the invoice example on the wiki garden.

  invoice.tex,  invoicefunctions.tex, adn invoicesetup.tex

 $ context  invoice.tex

The above compiles without error, but the resulting pdf doesn't give me what I would expect.  There is a 

" Regression in latest release of iT E X  "

In the main body of the document, which I don't think should be there.

My setup: mtx-context     | current version: 2013.09.03 16:23

Is the source out of date with the context version I am using or am I missing something?

Thanks

I’m responsible for that sample, but am sick and can’t concentrate at the moment. I’ll try to come back to you.

Hi anonymous,

I finally came to checking that code - it was still written for an old version of Wolfgang’s letter module.
Now it’s updated to work with the latest. Feel free to fix remaining errors yourself.

To adapt it for your own purposes you’ll need to learn to use the letter module (or bug Wolfgang to help you ;-)

There are horses for courses. I write invoices
using plain pdftex. Not much code required, I just
change the data fields for each new iteration. I
also use the antique TeXsis tables for structure.
Here is an example:
------------------------------------------
 \input TXSruled.tex
\def\today{\ifcase\month\or
January\or February\or March\or April\or
May\or June\or July\or August\or 
September \or October\or November\or December\fi

 I print the first page, flip the
 paper, print the address info, and fold the
 paper into threes. Glue the edge, affix a stamp
 and mail.

Run the above code and look at the results.
