Enumerating paragraphs

Enumerating paragraphs

[Guy Worthington]

How do I number paragraphs (similar to the format used when
typesetting a module)?  I've had an unsuccessful attempt at
it (below).

\newcount\paragraphno    % enumerate paragraphs
\def\paragraph#1\par{\advance\paragraphno by 1
    \llap{\sl \the\paragraphno\kern1pc}#1\par}%  number to left of text

\setupbodyfont[ber,10pt]
\setupwhitespace[big]

\starttext

\section[sec-language]{How this Book Teaches You The Language}

\paragraph Java is an object oriented programming language.  When you
use an object oriented programming language, your program consists of
class definitions.

\stoptext

There's a section in the beginner's manual on paragraph formatting.
There may be a cleaner way to do it, but here's an example based on
the ones in the beginner's manual:

  \newcount\paragraphno
  \paragraphno=1
  \defineparagraphs	[guypara][n=2,before={\blank},after={\blank}]
  \setupparagraphs	[guypara][1][width=.1\textwidth,style=bold]
  \def\GuyPar#1{\startguypara
          \the\paragraphno
          \global\advance\paragraphno by 1
          \guypara#1\stopguypara}

  \starttext
  \GuyPar{This is the first paragraph.}
  \GuyPar{This is the second paragraph.}
  \GuyPar{Three!!!  Three paragraphs!!!  Ah -- ah -- ah -- ahh!!!.}
  \stoptext

btw, if you're talking about not too large paragrapgs, you may consider
using the \startnumbering mechanism which supports line and para numbering.

\newcounter\ParNum

\def\paragraph{\doglobal\increment\ParNum\inleft{\ParNum}}

So, \inleft \inleftmargin \margintitle are the commands to use since they
also honor the margindistance and so. You can even say: 

\margintitle{\NextPar} 

some text 

with \def\NextPar{\doglobal\increment\ParNum\ParNum}

Thanks Ed L Cashin for your solution.  I had read section 12
in the beginner's manual but it takes an especially devious mind to
invent a wrapper macro around the paragraph formatting macro.  Your
reference to the Count was much more obvious (I guess I watch too much
Sesame St.).

Thanks Hans Hagen for your reply.  I'm continually amazed at what
you've packed into ConTeXt, the \inleft command is exactly what I
want.

enumerating paragraphs

[Mathias.Picker]

How can I enumerate paragraphs? They should simply look like

(1) sometext
for this para.

(2) and some
for this
para

(X) ...
...

?? I tried to play with the itemize setups, but got nowhere. Any hints?

Thanks, Mathias

Is this something you want?
\starttext
\defineconversion[map][(\numbers]
\startitemize[map,intext][stopper=)]
\item \input tufte
\item \input tufte
\item \input tufte
\stopitemize
\stoptext

then, how about: \setupparagraphnumbering[state=start]
