Standard Paragraph Numbering
ConTeXt has a built-in mechanism for paragraph numbering, which places numbers in the margin. This is accessed with \setupparagraphnumbering.
The mechanism numbers ‘TeX paragraphs’, so a formula or an itemization item will get its own number. For ‘block of thought’ paragraphs that can contain multiple TeX paragraphs, see the t-pararef module described at Paragraph Referencing.
\setuppapersize[A5] \starttext Some 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 long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, so as to show that these are paragraph numbers and not line numbers. \startitemize[packed] \item an \item itemization \stopitemize A third numbered paragraph. \setupparagraphnumbering[state=stop] And, finally, an unnumbered paragraph after the paragraph numbering. \stoptext
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 \everypar macro. The following code was proposed by Taco on the mailing list.
\setuppapersize[A6] \newcounter\Paracount \setcounter\Paracount1 \def\Paragraphnumber% {\increment\Paracount \Paracount.~} \def\startParagraphNumbers% {\par \begingroup \appendtoks \Paragraphnumber \to \everypar} \def\stopParagraphNumbers% {\par \endgroup} \starttext Some text in an unnumbered paragraph before the paragraph numbering starts. \startParagraphNumbers This is the first numbered paragraph; it's short. This is another numbered paragraph. It's long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, so as to show that these are paragraph numbers and not line numbers. A third numbered paragraph. \stopParagraphNumbers And, finally, an unnumbered paragraph after the paragraph numbering. \stoptext
This produces the following result:
