Dear gang,
Just put together a macro that appears to do what's desired. However, is
there a cleaner, more ConTeXt-like way to do this?
=======
\newcount \MQT
\MQT=1
\define[1]\NUM{%
\framed[offset=overlay,frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=green]
{\starttabulate[|c|]
\NC \mbox{\the\MQT} \NR
\NC #1 \NR
\stoptabulate}%
\advance\MQT by 1
\hbox{}}
\startTEXpage
\dorecurse{5}{Unnumbered Text \NUM{Numbered Text} }
\stopTEXpage
=======
This feels more like “the ConTeXt way” to me.

\defineframed
  [MQTframed]
  [offset=overlay,
   frame=off,
   background=color,
   backgroundcolor=green,
   align=middle]

\definecounter[MQT]
\setcounter[MQT][1]

\define[1]\NUM
{%
  \startframed[MQTframed]
    \convertedcounter[MQT]\par
    #1%
  \stopframed
  \incrementcounter[MQT]%
}

\startTEXpage
\dorecurse{5}{Unnumbered Text \NUM{Numbered Text}\par}
\stopTEXpage
...
See attached. Thanks in advance for any suggestions for improvement.
Best wishes
Idris
