\setupletteroptions[background=\useMPgraphic{dactylus}]

Some things have changed internally but the documentation hasn't been 
updated.

Thanks Henri,

but is there a way to use a different background on page 2?
I found \v!firstpage and \v!secondpage in the sources but didn't found a way to use them in my letter.

I removed the \setlettervalue command because it was too LaTeX like.

To set values for the letter use the \setupletter command, e.g. \setupletter[name=…,phone=…] etc.

For the labels of these values you have to use the \setuplettertext command which has like \setuplabeltext a optional argument where you can set different text for certain languages, e.g. \setuplettertext[tax=Tax] or \setuplettertext[de][tex=Steuer].

The old \setupletterstyle command was split in many different commands because it was too complicated and slow to make everything with one command.

You can send a me a example off-list.

problems with letter module

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I have updated context and the letter module to
ConTeXt  ver: 2012.12.06 22:36 MKIV  fmt: 2012.12.8  int: 
english/english

Problem: My letters do not work anymore.

I have found that

\setlettervalue{tax}[Steuer]{xxx}

is one of the problems. I have to use \setupletter[tax=xxx] instead.
I have to lock for then tax renaming.

Now the letter is compiling, but it is completly broken.
In the log I have found a lot of lines

setup           > error in line 20, namespace "553", instance 
"letter", key "frame"
setup           > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance 
"letter", key "invoice"
setup           > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance 
"letter", key "date"
setup           > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance 
"letter", key "phone"
setup           > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance 
"letter", key "tax"

I have the impression, that there has a lot changed.
How can I fix this temporary? (I have to write my letter NOW!)

Wolfgang
