I have the same need. I tried a basic solution:
=== Start failing example
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletter[
signature={JPR},
closing={Sincerely yours,}
]
\def\GenLetter[#1]{
\getparameters[GL][#1]
\startletter[
toname={\GLto},
toaddress={\GLadr},
opening={\GLciv},
]
Blah blah \GLciv.
\stopletter
}
\starttext
\GenLetter[civ={M.}, to={Pierre Durand}, adr={Trifouillis-les-Oies}]
\stoptext
=== End failing example
My idea being to generate as many letters I like by multiplying the \GenLetter
line.
However, I get an error message I don’t understand. Can someone point to the
thing I am doing wrong ?
Thank you.
Here is the corresponding console output:
