Not sure if there is a canonical way to do numbered paragraphs. In the following, I use subsections to mimic numbered paragraphs:

=======section-intext.tex======= \setuphead[section][style=\bfa,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahblue]

\setuphead[subsection][style=\bf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahgreen,alternative=text,distance=0.28em]

\setuphead[subsubsection][style=\tf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahred,alternative=text,distance=0.28em]

\starttext \startsection[title=Section 1] \startsubsection \input ward \stopsubsection

\startsubsection[title=Paragraph 2] \input ward \stopsubsection

\startsubsection \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopsubsection \stopsection \stoptext ==============

See attached output.

In paragraphs 1 and 2, there is too much distance between the subsection number (subsection number + title in paragraph 2) and between the text. The distance parameter is not appropriate here, it is the distance *after* the section head that needs adjustment (even if the text portion of the head (i.e., the section title) is empty).

Question 1: How do we fix the post-head distance?

Paragraph three shows that one apparently cannot mix this sectioning approach with the \start-stopparagraph mechanism.

Question 2: Is there a way to mix \start-stopparagraph with the above subsection approach to par numbering?

I suppose that as long as I maintain exactly one paragraph per subsection, then structured output (xml etc.) should look ok.

Question 3: Is there a wiser way to handle this kind of par numbering in mkiv?

\setupwhitespace[big] \definelabel[ParagraphNumber][text=Paragraph,closesymbol={\hspace[big]}] \setupparagraphintro[each][\ParagraphNumber] \starttext \section{Section} \input ward \input ward \input ward \stoptext Wolfgang
