Numbered Paragraphs

Numbered Paragraphs

[Nigel King]

All,
UK Government documents tend to each paragraph numbered for future
reference. I can number each one by using

\defineenumeration[Point][location=inmargin,way=bysubsection,text=,headstyle
=normal]

and then in each paragraph inserting somewhere \Point somewhere once.

Is there a more convenient way that either automatically numbers the default
paragraph mechanism or a \startnumbering...\stopnumbering type of command
that works across multiple paragraphs?

Another very minor point, the inmargin command right justifies the numbers
is there a left justified inmargin version?

TIA

PS. I feel I have finally broken through with ConTeXt. It has taken some
time though.

\setupparagraphnumbering[state=start]

\starttext

\showframe

\setuplayout[margin=2cm,backspace=3cm,margindistance=.5cm]
\setupinmargin[left][align=right]
\setupparagraphnumbering[state=start,distance=0pt]

\inmargin{test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par}

\stoptext

BTW, There is a more generic paragraph hook but that one is not yet documented
