letter: How to customize reference line?

Dear ConTeXt folks,


I am trying to customize the reference line in a letter.

```
$ context --version

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 1.01
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2017.05.15 21:48
```

The example from Wolfgang’s `correspondence.pdf` [1] doesn’t work for me.

```
\setupletter
   [name={Joe User},
    date=\currentdate]

\setupletter
   [list={name,date}]
```

Only the date is shown in the reference line.

The solution from chapter 9 also does not work. Still only the date is 
shown.

```
\setupletter
   [name={Joe User},
    date=\currentdate]

\setupletterstyle[reference][list={name,date}]
```

Do I need to create a new customized reference line to add other fields 
next to the date to the reference line?


Kind regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

you have to use the \setupletterlayer command to change the entries in 
the reference line.

\usemodule[letter]

\setupletter
   [name={Joe User}]

\setupletterlayer
   [reference]
   [list={name,date}]

\startletter
...
\stopletter


If you don’t get a title for your entry you can add it with the 
\setuplettertext command.
