CTAN update: onlinebrief24
by CTAN Announcements 19 Apr '26

19 Apr '26

Francesco Luciano submitted an update to the onlinebrief24 package. Version: 2026-04-17 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: LaTeX class for DIN 5008 type-B business letters for use with onlinebrief24.de Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release fixes bugs in the modern-mode header, the extensibility API, and the information block, and improves robustness of the class internals. Bug fixes: - Fixed modern-mode header overflowing the right margin for long sender names: the header parbox width is now computed via \dimexpr\paperwidth-50mm\relax (160 mm on A4) instead of the invalid \paperwidth-50mm literal - Fixed \addinfoblockrow rendering stray text in the label column: the empty-value test now expands the argument into a helper macro before testing, so both internal macros and literal text passed by the user are handled correctly - Fixed \addinfoblockrow producing no output when none of the built-in fields (yourref, ourref, contactname, etc.) are set; the visibility guard now also checks for custom rows via \addinfoblockrow - Fixed incorrect icon name in the documentation (\faXTwitter -> \faTwitter) New behaviour: - \addfooteritem now emits a class warning (\ClassWarningNoLine) when called without the modern option, instead of silently doing nothing - \setfromname is deprecated; a class warning now recommends using \setfromfirstname and \setfromlastname instead Internal improvements: - DIN 5008 window geometry centralised as named length constants (\@obb@din*) shared by the picture-mode overlay and the TikZ guides overlay, eliminating the previous drift between the two rendering paths - Modern-style calibration values (header/footer position, font sizes) replaced by named constants for maintainability - Footer field rendering consolidated into a single helper macro (\@obb@renderfooterfield), removing five copies of the separator logic - Return-address width measurement extracted to \@obb@measurereturnaddress, shared between validation and rendering ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/onlinebrief24 The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/onlinebrief24/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
