Letterhead Usage

Letterhead Usage

[henman]

I have created a letterhead for correspondence, but it is too unfriendly 
to have to include it in every time.

I would like to use it as a package, but don't know if it's possible.

The problem I see is that the command \setlayer must  be done after the 
\starttext command.
If it doesn't then formatting commands such as \sc  will not take affect 
and I believe a different font is also applied.

What would  be a user friendly way to implement letterheads (made up 
using the layers functionality of context?

Thanks

Hi,

could you provide a minimal sample that shows the issues you’re
experiencing?

You can put the layer settings in a setups environment and flush the content when the page backgrounds are applied
with the setups key for \setupbackground.

\definelayer[letterhead][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\startsetups[letterhead]

\ifnum\rawcountervalue[userpage]=1

	\setlayerframed[letterhead][x=\backspace,y=1cm][width=\textwidth,height=2cm,align={middle,lohi}]{First page}

\else

	\setlayerframed[letterhead][x=\backspace,y=1cm][width=\textwidth,height=2cm,align={middle,lohi}]{Second page}

\fi

\stopsetups

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=letterhead,setups=letterhead]

\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\page[empty]}
\stoptext
