If youThis is another numbered paragraph. it're happy with numbers in the margins rather a bit longer. Specifically, this is in-built ConTeXt wayit's long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, with <cmd>setupparagraphnumbering</cmd>:so as to show thatthese are paragraph numbers and not line numbers.

Revision as of 07:35, 4 September 2005
, 07:35, 4 September 2005A rearrangement, putting the built-in method first. Also improved examples.
== Standard Paragraph Numbering == ConTeXt has a built-in mechanism for paragraph numbering, which places numbers in the margin. This is accessed with <cmd>setupparagraphnumbering</cmd>, as in this example, which also sets the number style to italic rather than the default roman. <texcode>\starttextSome text in an unnumbered paragraph before the paragraph numbering starts. \setupparagraphnumbering[state=start,style=italic,distance=0pt]This is the first numbered paragraph; it's short. This is another numbered paragraph. it's rather a bit longer. Specifically,it's long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, so as to show thatthese are paragraph numbers and not line numbers. A third numbered paragraph.\setupparagraphnumbering[state=stop] And, finally, an unnumbered paragraph after the paragraph numbering.\stoptext</texcode> <context>\starttextSome text in an unnumbered paragraph before the paragraph numbering starts. \setupparagraphnumbering[state=start,style=italic,distance=0pt]This is the first numbered paragraph; it's short. This is another numbered paragraph. it's rather a bit longer. Specifically,it's long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, so as to show thatthese are paragraph numbers and not line numbers. A third numbered paragraph.\setupparagraphnumbering[state=stop] And, finally, an unnumbered paragraph after the paragraph numbering.\stoptext</context> == Paragraph Numbering in the Text == An alternate way of numbering paragraphs is to place the numbers in the running text, rather than in the margin. ConTeXt doesn't have a built-in way to do this, but it's not difficult to add a method using the <cmd>everypar</cmd> macro. The following code was proposed by Taco to on the mailing list:.
<texcode>
\newcounter\Paracount
\setcounter\Paracount1
\def\Paragraphnumber%
{\increment\Paracount
\Paracount.~}
\def\startParagraphsstartParagraphNumbers%
{\par \begingroup \appendtoks \Paragraphnumber \to \everypar}
\def\stopParagraphsstopParagraphNumbers%
{\par \endgroup}
\starttext
\startParagraphsstartParagraphNumbersThis is the first numbered paragraph; it's short.
This is another numbered paragraph. This is anotherit's rather a bit longer. Specifically,it's long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, so as to show thatthese are paragraphnumbers and not line numbers. This is another paragraph.\stopParagraphs
\stoptext
</texcode>
This produces the following result:/
<context>
\newcounter\Paracount
\setcounter\Paracount1
\def\Paragraphnumber%
{\increment\Paracount
\Paracount.~}
\def\startParagraphsstartParagraphNumbers%
