Letter module - appendices

Letter module - appendices

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I know at least a few people use my letter module and I want to ask
them if they have a problem when I change the handling of appendices
like CC and postscript.

The current way to write them is

\startletter
   [copy=...,
    postscript=...]
...
\stopletter

and I want to change this in

\startletter
...
\CC{...} % or \copy{...}
\PS{...} % or \postscript{...}
\stopletter

As positive side effect of the new method would be to write

\startletter
\opening{...}
...
\closing{...}
\stopletter

as a alternative way to write the opening and closing text (the old  
keyval
works too) but the appendices can be only handled in one way.

Wolfgang

Dear Wolfgang,

I use your module voor an association. I have no problem if you  
change the CC and PS part.

Kind regards

Willi

No problem for me neither, but be careful with name-clashes: perhaps, Hans
will add macros \copy or \postscript in the future.
Cheers, Peter

I will use now \ps, \cc and \encl. I already dropped \copy because TeX
has a \copy primitive and both conflict with longer letter (>1 pages).

Hi,

I uploaded a new version with the appendices handling, here is a  
example how
to use them. All of them are optional and will appear in the output in  
the
order you write them in the text.

\usemodule[letter]

\starttext

\startletter

\input knuth

% To get a prefix for the postscript write 'PS:' in the text
% or use a labeltext, e.g. \setuplabeltext[en][letter:postscript=PS: ]

\ps{Postscript}

\cc{List of recipients}

\encl{Enclosed documents}

\stopletter

\stoptext

Wolfgang
