Description

Setup the paragraphs of a side-by-side environment defined with \defineparagraphs. This command occurs in two forms. One to set options for the entire environment:

\setupparagraphs[EnglishLatin][each][n=2,before=\blank]

And one to set options for specific paragraphs (columns) in the environment:

\setupparagraphs[EnglishLatin][2][color=red,width=.6\textwidth]

Example

% Source: ConText Manual ms-cb-en.pdf
\setuppapersize[A5] % narrower page --> better-sized picture for the wiki.

% Define a paragraph environment with 3 columns. 
% Insert a blank line just before and just after the paragraph. 
\defineparagraphs 
	[mypar]
        [n=3,
         before={\blank},
         after={\blank}] 

% The first column occupies 10% of the text's width and is rendered bold. 
\setupparagraphs
        [mypar]
        [1]
        [width=.1\textwidth,
         style=bold] 

% The second column occupies 40% of the text's width. 
\setupparagraphs
        [mypar]
        [2]
        [width=.4\textwidth]

% The third column uses default settings. It will occupy 
% the remaining 50% of the text's width.
 
% Set a paragraph with "mypar"

\startmypar % begin paragraph body with 1st column 
    1252 
\mypar % switch to 2nd column
    Hasselt obtains its city charter from bishop Hendrik van Vianden. 
\mypar % switch to 3rd column
    Hendrik van Vianden was pressed by other towns not to agree 
    with the charter. It took Hasselt a long period of time to 
    convince the Bishop. After supporting the Bishop in a small 
    war against the Drents, the charter was released. 
\stopmypar % end paragraph body
