letter module, backaddress placement

letter module, backaddress placement

[Florian Wobbe]

Dear Wolfgang,

the default vertical placement of the backaddress is to high in dinb.nls.

When I change the offset from

 \c!voffset=\dimexpr\letterstylevalue{\v!address\v!layer}\c!voffset-\letterstylevalue{\v!backaddress\v!frame}\c!height\relax]

to

 \c!voffset=\dimexpr\letterstylevalue{\v!address\v!layer}\c!voffset+\letterstylevalue{\v!backaddress\v!frame}\c!height\relax]

(addition instead of subtraction) everything is fine.

Best wishes,
Florian

The position of the backaddress os correct but i think you don’t like the large gap between the backaddress and the address. The gap is there because it’s specified in the german din layout where the address field has nine lines with the first three lines reserved for dispatch information, a easy way to get rid of this space is to disable the dispatch field with

\setupletterstyle[dispatch=no]

Nice to know!

Actually it was not the gap that bothered me. You are right, DIN 676 B says 45mm. But this seems to be useless as all window envelopes (that I possess) have their window at 50mm. It defeats the purpose of the backaddress field, which is hidden by the DIN layout. Shouldn't they be able to read it in the Post office in case the addressee is wrong?

Puzzled,
Florian

i measured one envelope DIN Lang 

+------------Top
|
|
| 50mm
|
|
+--------
|
| 45mm Window
|
+--------
|
| 15mm
|
+------------Bottom

That fits perfect with Koma scrltr2. I have not (yet) tried
it in Context, but i will soon.

Perhaps we fold the paper different?

kind regards,
