[NTG-context] custom command \myframedsection does not always work. Bug?
Hi All, Please see the working example below. I have defined a command called \myframedsection. It works the first two times I use it, but not the third time. I think it has something to do with using \startitemize...\stopitemize before the command is used the third time. But I am not sure. Can someone please tell me why it is not working, and how I can change my definition so that it works? Is this a bug? Minimal Example: \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setuplayout[height=middle,width=middle,topspace=0.5in,header=1cm,backspace=1.25in] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \setupinteraction[state=start] % Changing the location of the page numbers so that they appear in the footer. \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setupnarrower[left=2ex] \setupitemize[margin=0.5cm] \setupitemize[a] \setupitemize[stopper=)] %%% Defining \mysection and \myframedsection %%% \definehead[mysection][section] \setuphead[mysection][color=blue*:3] \def\myframedsection#1{\bgroup\vskip 0.5in \framed[background=color, backgroundcolor=gray:10] {\mysection{#1}}% \egroup} \starttext \myframedsection{Confidence Intervals from the normal and $t$-distributions} {\bf Here myframedsection commmand works.} \subsection{Confidence Interval for Mean} \subsection{Confidence Interval for Proportion} \subsection{Confidence Interval for Linear Transformation} SECTION \myframedsection{Classical Hypothesis Testing} SECTION {\bf Here myframedsection commmand works.} \startitemize \item some item here \item some item here \stopitemize SECTION \myframedsection{Problems with Statistical Significance} SECTION {\bf where is the section title??} Researchers often compare results based on statistical significance. There are two pitfalls in doing so: \startitemize \item Statistical significance does not mean practical significance. A result that is statistically significant may be practically insignificant. \item If one result is statistically significant and other is not, it does not necessarily mean that the difference in the two results is statistically significant. For example, suppose there are two independent studies, one with an effect estimate of 25 and standard error of 10. Another with an effect estimate of 10 and standard error of 10. The former is statistically significant at 1\% significance level. The latter is not significant at 1\%. From this one may be tempted to conclude that there is a large/significant difference between the results in two studies. However, this is not true. The estimate of difference in the effects is 15 with standard error of $ \sqrt{10^{2} + 10^{2}} = 14 $. This is not even close to being statistically significant at 1\% level. \stopitemize \stoptext ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] What are the best fonts to use
Cecil, thanks for asking this question. Even though the answers may/will be subjective, it is quite likely that there are people here who have given some thought to font choice. I agree with previous responses that reading a book on typography would certainly be helpful. Nevertheless, I am interested in hearing what fonts people like (if they do not mind sharing). I, and perhaps some others, may learn about a few fonts.

So if people have tips about the fonts to use, I like to hear them. Do you use other fonts when using a printed book? I don't think this question can have one answer. There are many good answers, depending on the kind of book (or other printed material). 1. I think the layout of the page itself can have a great deal to do with whether a certain font looks good (e.g. amount of white space, length of lines, etc). Paying proper attention to the gross aspects of your layout, such as margins and line heights, goes a long way to improving the appearance of the whole work, and brings out the best in whichever font you choose. 2. To some extent, different fonts can suit different material (e.g. a book of poems vs a financial report, or a textbook vs a novel). For extended reading, the conventional wisdom is to choose a normal-looking font that doesn't call attention to itself too much, but obviously you also want one that is at least somewhat attractive to look at. 3. Frankly, giving people what they are already used to is often the best plan - probably more often than typographers would care to admit. In my opinion, variation for its own sake is over-rated and over-used. -- David ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] problem with tikz remember picture and overlay.
Hi All, I realized one error in my tikz code. I forgot the semi-colon. But with the semi-colon, the tikz part is completely ignored. Anyhow, in a previous post here I found a good example of absolute positioning of text using Context's positioning macro. That is awesome for my current purpose. Thanks Peter for that (and of course, Hans for everything). But would still like to learn if Tikz's absolute positioning is incompatible with Context.

Re: [NTG-context] increase space on the left of pages included using \copypages
Hi Thomas, I am preparing notes for my lectures and I would like to include some online news articles (such as NY times) that I save as PDF, in my notes (these notes are for me). When I save these online articles as pdf, I often get a small left margin and big right margin (just as in includethis.pdf; I deliberately made it similar to these news articles). I will try to do this using lua loop. I should learn it. I am learning so many new things currently that I have not had a chance to learn Lua. I was wondering if Aditya's filter module could be used to use Python instead of Lua, but I suppose I should ask that as a new question. Thanks for your help.

The included pages, like the document where you want to include them, are letter size. If you simply include them, they will take the entire width. The small margin left and big margin right are already in you includethis.pdf. If you want more margin left, all you can do is scale the image. Or adjust the papersize of the file you want to include. But if you want to have some special effect (like pushing part of your included image off the page), you'll have to use something like \externalfigure, as Hans suggested. Btw, if you know the number of pages you want to include, it's relatively trivial to write a simple loop, both in mkii (with \dorecurse and \recurselevel) or with a lua loop.

Re: [NTG-context] What do you miss in ConTeXt?
Nice thread. Thanks for starting this Wolfgang. First of all, Context is great and I love it. I think I miss the geometry package of the latex. It makes setting margins very easy. I think setting margins (left, right, top and bottom) could be easier in Context. I am glad that tikz has started working well with context. That is a big relief. I hope (and this perhaps has nothing to do with the brilliant Context development team) is that journals start accepting Context files. While I use context for my personal and class notes, for articles I am still forced to go to latex because journals do not accept context files.

Re: [NTG-context] margin option in itemize
I suppose you can think of 'margin=dimension' option as increasing the margin by the specified dimension for the list. It works without any problems for a list that is not nested within another list. However, with nesting, as in the example I emailed, it does not work. I tried the 'width' command but that does not do what I want. It inserts the space between the item symbol and the item text. I want the space before item symbol. Thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography help - some problems I have noticed

When replaced with the appropriate .bib file I do get the references at the end of the document. But I observed the following. Would really appreciate if someone could point out whether I am making a mistake or whether there is a bug. (1) If the Key has a paranthesis, the \cite[Reference] gives empty brackets. (2) If I use \cite[author][Reference] then I get a line break after the opening paranthesis. (3) Also, note that I refer to only one paper of Daughety and Reinganum in the minimal example below.

Thanks Mojca. I knew the backspace would work, but I did not know why the settings I specified did not work.

Re: [NTG-context] Pstricks and Asymptote
I tried Metapost last year for a few graphs and liked the fact that it is tightly integrated with Context. I found John Hobby's document a good place to learn it and then used Hans' Metafun to learn further. The reason I am looking at Asymptote and pstricks is because they have libraries or functionality which Metapost lacks. For example, the tree drawing library in pstricks. If Metapost has such a library I don't know since I cannot find any document that explains the new things added to Metapost other than what is mentioned in Metafun(2001). As you said documentation is lacking. Similarly, Asymptote allows one to find intersection points of any two paths (even nonlinear paths). I am not sure whether Metapost can do that. I keep reading that Taco is working on development of Metapost. However, I am not sure what exactly has changed. If there is any new documentation, I would love to read it. Thanks.

I just said that it's really low, but I meant ConTeXt users with that. There are still plenty LaTeX users around. The main problem is that PS Tricks cannot be very well integrated unless one uses tex-dvips, but ConTeXt doesn't use that for ages and there is basically no support for dvi in ConTeXt either.

Are there any neat features that you won't to do, but cannot do with TikZ? (I'm sure there are some, but I'm also sure that 99% of drawings can be done in a very similar way in TikZ as well unless there is a well-developed PSTricks library around that's missing in TikZ.) Asymptote is very similar to MetaPost. The main reason why I would want to use it is to draw 3D, else I would go for MetaPost since it's much faster and better integrated when used within ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] setupsystem command with an example
Does not work for me. Luigi, the reason I have used the \setupsystem[random=] is to control the randomization and not have it change everytime I compile it.

Thanks everyone for replying. Mojca, in case you read this, can you please let me know what the status on asymptote is. Alan, the tikz module does not work with MKIV. From what I have read before, it seems it will not unless the creator of tikz makes some changes to tikz package so that it works with Context. I am not sure how likely that is. Thomas or someone else can you please confirm that the pstricks module works with MKIV. Also, where I can find the module? It is not there with the other third party modules. Thanks.

Wolfgang I tried \setupTABLE[column][1][width=2.5in,align={lohi}] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=3in,align={lohi}] \setupTABLE[row][1][align={middle}] But that does not work either.

Re: [NTG-context] Alignment in tables
Yes, that worked great. After looking at your solution, I vaguely remember that this had happened before. For the first row, first has worked 1 did not. It was so long back that I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the solution.

Re: [NTG-context] Bold letters in math and does tikz work
You can get bold upright symbol in math fonts. There was a bug in math-vfu.lua, for which I gave a patch in my previous email. If you apply that patch to math-vfu and then regenerate formats, ${\bf A}$ will give upright bold math. If you do not want to patch math-vfu on your own, wait for the next beta by Hans. This will not work with bold greek letters or bold operators. Aditya Thanks Aditya. I have no clue how to use the patch. I think I will wait for the next Beta from Hans. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Fraktur symbol in subscript
Hello All, While the \fraktur{C} command works for me in the Math mode as part of a regular expression, it does not work in the subscript. The command I am trying is $ x \sim_{\fraktur{C}} y $. I get a blank in place of the fraktur C. However, if I try just $ x \fraktur{C} y $, it works. Does anyone have a fix?
