How can I move the sender field down when using letter-pro?

Questions
1

Hi,

I am trying to convert my existing (Latex-based) letter to letter-pro (letter-simple to be specific).

However, the sender field contains more lines than what the template apparently is meant to handle - the top part of the sender field is cut off.

How can I move this down on the page?

Also, second question: How can I insert a logo in the top left corner of only the first page, and a small logo in the bottom right on pages 2+?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Andreas,

It would be very useful if you could provide a minimum working example (MWE) that demonstrates the problem you are having.
I think this is such a MWE but please correct me if there is something else going on.

#import "@preview/letter-pro:3.0.0": letter-simple
#show: letter-simple.with(
  sender: (
    name: "Name",
    address: "Address 1, Address 2",
    extra: [
      Line 1\
      Line 2\
      Line 3\
      Line 4\
      Line 5\
      Line 6\
      Line 7 - This line makes the `name` field fall off
    ],
  ),
  
  recipient: [Recepient],
)

After looking at the source code it seems like adjusting the margin may be the fix but I wasn’t able to get any improvement by including margin details in the letter-simple.with( call. This might be due to this:

// Reverse the margin for the header, the address box and the information box
  pad(top: -margin.top, left: -margin.left, right: -margin.right, {

Hi @gezepi - thanks a lot for your quick reply and sorry for not posting a MWE. The one you posted is spot on, though.

I think I have to modify the template directly in this case. Not a problem, of course, but not very nice. I would have hoped that there is a way to influence spacing/margins etc “externally”.

The following may help you:

(Instead of a footer – and header – you could also use the page.foreground/page.background)

If that isn’t enough, I’d recommend posting a separate question though, so that others properly notice it and so that you can separately mark both questions as solved.
