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.

Hi, a newbie question coming up:

Is there any difference between \inleft and \llap?
If not, is there a lot of commands in ConTeXt that just are wrappers
around plain TeX commands? [Anyway \inleft was a good name.]

Concerning \llap, that plain one is reimplemented (liek a few more) to be
more robust in tricky situations. 

Concerning \inleft, this is definitely a different command, since it takes
care of proper placement with regards to the left margin distance; the
\inleft \inright \inmargin \margintitle commands take multiples lines and
go to a far extend to align properly; \margintitle also stacks marginal
things that can then be placed at given locations with given characteristics 

[some more margin trickery is in beta stage here, esp proper alignment with
math formulas]

Concerning plain wrappers, i never counted the lines, but context is
written mostly from scratch (for me it was the only way to learn tex),
plain is there for as far as useful, and most of plain is low level stuff
needed for math and basic housekeeping; if you look in syst-tex, you will
notice that I bypass some plain defs [overloading] like fonts. 

BTW, plain tex in itself does not offer much typo things. I used to load
the etex format too, but now I just implement the additional register
things myself and the rest is not needed anyway. For some users it's
comfortable to have the plain stuff available, so i leave it there.

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

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

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

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}

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

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.
