More Options for Text Alignement in Sender Box

[scavi-github]

Hi, this is a very nice template!

It would be really cool to have more options for text alignment in the sender box (but still have the box on the right-hand side of the page), e.g. to have the text left-aligned, or even better, to have right and left alignment like in a two-column table.

So, using the example from the README, to change the sender box from this:

to something like this:

Seems like a useful addition, but how would you define the API?

If this is your first example:

#show: letter-simple.with(
  sender: (
    name: "Anja Ahlsen",
    address: "Deutschherrenufer 28, 60528 Frankfurt",
    extra: [
      Telefon: #link("tel:+4915228817386")[+49 152 28817386]\
      E-Mail: #link("mailto:aahlsen@example.com")[aahlsen\@example.com]\
    ],
  ),

  // etc.
)

How would you like your second example to be implemented?

There's an example:

#show: letter-simple.with(
  sender: (
    name: "Anja Ahlsen",
    address: "Deutschherrenufer 28, 60528 Frankfurt",
    extra: (
      ([Telefon], link("tel:+4915228817386")[+49 152 28817386]),
      ([E-Mail], link("mailto:aahlsen@example.com")[aahlsen\@example.com]),
    ),
  ),

  // etc.
)

How about adding an extra option, e.g. textalign, to sender? If unspecified, its default value would be right, but one could set it to left, or, for my second example, it could take an array (right, left).

Then there is a choice to either...

• ...always put the values for name and address in the second/last column and use arrays for the elements in extra;
• or, to require arrays as values for name and address as well, to make it more customizable.

For the first version, the syntax could look like this:

#show: letter-simple.with(
  sender: (
    textalign: (right, left),
    name: "Anja Ahlsen",
    address: "Deutschherrenufer 28, 60528 Frankfurt",
    extra: (
      ([Telefon], link("tel:+4915228817386")[+49 152 28817386]),
      ([E-Mail], link("mailto:aahlsen@example.com")[aahlsen\@example.com]),
    ),
  ),

  // etc.
)

By the way, the change in text size I made in my example picture should in my opinion not be caused by any of this and can always be put in by hand, e.g. by manually writing text(0.7em)[Telefon:] instead of [Telefon:].
