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}

{\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
