[NTG-context] old style factorial symbol and theorems

[Shiv Shankar Dayal]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 216 bytes --]

Hi,

How can I typeset old style factorial symbol and theorems in ConTeXt. I
found https://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf but it does not work. What
adaptation should I do for it to work?

Can you be more precise what you have tried and doesn't work, a complete 
minimal example would be perfect.

I use following in Latex to generate old factorial symbol:

\newcommand{\oldfact}[1]{%
\tikz[baseline]{\node[anchor=base,inner
sep=0.3ex](mynode){\ensuremath{#1}};\draw(mynode.north west)--(mynode.south
west)--(mynode.south east);\path[use as bounding box]($(mynode.south
west)+(-0.3ex,-0.3ex)$)rectangle($(mynode.north east)+(0.3ex,0.3ex)$);}
}

But I do not know how to make it work in ConTeXt as I am not very familiar
with ConTeXt.

If you see https://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf page no. 28 then proof is
defined as

\defineenumeration
[proof]
[ text=Proof,
number=no,
headstyle=italic,
title=no, %this is the default
closesymbol={\mathematics{\square}},
style=normal]

But the closessymbol does not work.

I will create a minimum working example and post it as soon as possible.

What do you expect here to pass as argument to the oldfact command?

This works here:

\defineenumeration
   [proof]
   [closesymbol={\mathematics{\square}}]

\starttext

\startproof
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopproof

\stoptext

Thanks. I will test this again.

A simple alternative to tikz is the usage of \framed.

\define[1]\oldfact
   {\inmframed[frame=off,strut=no,leftframe=on,bottomframe=on]{#1}}

\starttext

\m{\oldfact{n}}

\stoptext

Hi!

Not by computer, and I'm sure Hans (or Wolfgang) has already shown a way to
do the old factorial with the actuarian mechanism when I'm back to the
computer...

I tried this for old style factorial, but it appears much below the line in
which it is used. How can I bring it up?

Replace the \inmframed command with \mcframed.

\define[1]\oldfact
   {\mcframed[frame=off,strut=no,leftframe=on,bottomframe=on]{#1}}

By "old style" factorial, do you mean the inside corner notation (shaped
like an L )? 

If so, Why?
