Enhancement Proposals
you are right, done --[[User:Numenor|Numenor]] 18:03, 31 Dec 2004 (CET)
===Enhancement Proposals===
==Sender KeyVals==
Replace the ugly heap of sender macros with <cmd>setvalue</cmd> like this:
<texcode>
% some setups, only for completeness
\def\sendervalwidth{4cm}
\def\senderkeywidth{2cm}
\def\keystyle{\tfx\it}
\def\valstyle{}
% define setter (Sender) and getter (GetSenderLine)
\def\Sender#1#2#3{\setvalue{SenderKey#1}{#2}\setvalue{SenderVal#1}{#3}}
\def\GetSenderLine#1{\bTR\bTD\doiftextelse{\getvalue{SenderKey#1}} {\getvalue{SenderKey#1}:}{}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{SenderVal#1}\eTD\eTR}
% initialize values - not even needed
%\dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{
% \Sender{\recurselevel}{}{}
%}
\startsetups sendertablesetup
\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[x][1][width=\senderkeywidth, align=left, style={\keystyle\strut}]
\setupTABLE[x][2][width=\sendervalwidth, align=right, style={\valstyle\strut}]
\bTABLE
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{
\expanded{\GetSenderLine{\recurselevel}}
}
\eTABLE
\stopsetups
</texcode>
You use it in your letter like this:
<texcode>
\Sender{1}{Name}{Hraban}
\Sender{2}{Address}{Anywhere}
\Sender{3}{}{in Switzerland}
\Sender{4}{Web}{www.fiee.net/texnique/}
</texcode>
(Thanks to Peter Rolf and Taco Hoekwater for their valuable help!)
==Address and Logo Space==
I (Hraban) wanted to use my "corporate design" and put the address directly under my logo:
<texcode>

\def\firstpageheaderheight{95mm}
\def\topspaceheight{12.5mm}
\def\sendervalwidth{40mm}
\def\senderkeywidth{20mm}

\def\logothirdwidth{\senderkeywidth}

==Folding Marks==
The folding marks used endash and emdash and didn't "bleed" over the margin (as they should if you want to offset print).
<texcode>
\def\bleed{3mm}
\definecolor[Grey][s=.5]
\definelayer[foldingmarkslayer][state=repeat]
\startsetups foldingmarkslayersetup
\setupblackrules[width=13mm, height=0.1mm, color=Grey]
\setlayer[foldingmarkslayer][y=107mm, x=-\bleed, align={lohi,right}]{\blackrule}
\setlayer[foldingmarkslayer][y=148.5mm, x=-\bleed, align={lohi,right}]{\blackrule[width=10mm]}
\setlayer[foldingmarkslayer][y=202mm, x=-\bleed, align={lohi,right}]{\blackrule}
\stopsetups
</texcode>
