Can can find the explanations from vboc in the TeXbook, there is also a
german book about plain TeX available. It is out of print and can be
downloaded from the following page:

It was only an example to show you the use of the before and after
parameters.

There are to many ways in ConTeXt to define an example environment, you
can do it in the following ways:

- \defineframedtext
- \defineenumeration
- \definedescription
- ...

You could also defined you own macros:

\def\startexample#1\stopexample{...}

or used only a header like

\subject{Example}


You can see, there are so many ways too achieve one thing and im
couldn't know which way you have choosen.


If you want unnumbered examples with enumeration you can disable the
number with \setupenumeration[number=no] .
