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
