Hello together, my old set-up was an Ubuntu/tex-live installation, but I recently (finally) did a reset-up, and I am now running ArchLinux together with the context-minimals-git from AUR [1]. This should contain the latest build. As I understand it, there has been an update to the letter-module, but there is currently no updated documentation available. Is this correct? Please have a look at the following minimal example ------ >8 ------ min-ex.tex \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[letter] \setupletter [ toname={Max Musterman} , toaddress={Musterstraße 10} , fromname={Me} , fromaddress={Muster Weg 10} , phone={0123-45678} , mobile={0175-31689} , date=\currentdate , list={phone,mobile,date} , subject={This is a minimal example with missing reference list} , opening={Sehr geehrter Mustermann,} , closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen,} , signature={Me} ] \startletter \input knuth \stopletter ------ >8 ------ $ texexec min-ex.tex or $ context min-ex.tex will only display the current date on the very right, but no phone or mobile number. 1) What is the new way of setting up the reference line? 2) Please also note the "space" between the addresser and his/her address in the addressee field. Is there a way to get rid of this space? Thank you very much for your help. Thomas [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398

Please have a look at the following minimal example
------ >8 ------ min-ex.tex \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[de]
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletter [ toname={Max Musterman} , toaddress={Musterstraße 10} , fromname={Me} , fromaddress={Muster Weg 10} , phone={0123-45678} , mobile={0175-31689} , date=\currentdate , list={phone,mobile,date} , subject={This is a minimal example with missing reference list} , opening={Sehr geehrter Mustermann,} , closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen,} , signature={Me} ]
\startletter \input knuth \stopletter ------ >8 ------
$ texexec min-ex.tex
or
$ context min-ex.tex
will only display the current date on the very right, but no phone or mobile number.
1) What is the new way of setting up the reference line?
\setupletterlayer[reference][list={…}]
2) Please also note the "space" between the addresser and his/her address in the addressee field. Is there a way to get rid of this space?
Put the comma to separate the entries at the end of the line and not at the begin of the next because the end of the line results otherwise in a space. \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[letter] \setupletterlayer [reference] [list={phone,mobile,date}] \setupletter [toname={Max Musterman}, toaddress={Musterstraße 10}, fromname={Me}, fromaddress={Muster Weg 10}, phone={0123-45678}, mobile={0175-31689}, %date=\currentdate, subject={This is a minimal example with reference list}, opening={Sehr geehrter Mustermann,}, closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen,}, signature={Me}] \startletter \input knuth \stopletter Wolfgang
Thank you so much, Wolfgang, it worked!
However, even though the mobile number shows on page, it comes without
a header "Mobile" above it. Is there a list of what references are
recognised by the letter-module in the reference list when using "de"
as the main language?
Cheers,
Thomas

You can change existing string or add missing string with \setuplettertext[<language>][<keyword>=<string>] in your case you need \setuplettertext[de][mobile=Mobile] Wolfgang

Yes, context-minimals-git is just a wrapper around first-setup.sh to make it easier to install and uninstall the context package.

Note that ConTeXt has a very strict way of specifying key-value options. You need \setupletter [ .... key=value, .... ] You cannot have any space around the "=" sign **or** the ",". For the last option, you must either have a comma on the same line or the closing bracket on the same line. So, use \setupletter [ .... signature={Me}, ]
\startletter \input knuth \stopletter ------ >8 ------
$ texexec min-ex.tex
or
$ context min-ex.tex
will only display the current date on the very right, but no phone or mobile number.
Perhaps because the list is set to "{phone,mobile,date}\n".

I really had no idea that ConTeXt is so strict when assigning values.
I always used this notation, since it helps you to _not_ forget any
commas. I always thought the value-string would end with the last '}'.
Thanks for pointing this out, Aditya. That is really good to know.
