letter style

[Janko Hauser]

Hello, my name is Janko Hauser, I'm a new context user, after many
years of LaTeX :-)

I want to use context for two different projects.

1. Produce styled PDF documents from a web-content-managment-system.
This will be web-page based but also complete sets of pages to
generate longer documents. One conceptual idea is to have something
like a clip-board of visited pages, which can be printed as one
document. 

Ok, this Zope-based site will be an effort going into the next year. I
mention it only for background for the coming questions in the next
months.

2. I want to generate my invoice and business-letters with context. I
searched the mailinglist but the only note I got was a reference to
"the last MAPS" which should contain an article about this. Ah and
Hans has mentioned that there is something in the making :-) 
Is there already something to look at? Does someone know a direct link
to the mentioned MAPS-article?

Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to using context.

Context does not directly know styles. - Of course you can create a 
layout-file where everything is organized:

         setup the general layout of the page
         setup the font
         setup the logo(s)
         setup header
         setup footer

Use the layout-file in a file invoice.tex:

\input layout-files
\starttext

this is the part where the invoice is placed.

\stoptext

If you provide me the your postal addres (off line) I will make a copy of 
the mentioned article for
you.

Kind regards
Willi Egger.

better use environment files and components (project syntax)
