Question on typesetting paragraphs with non rectangle shape

Hello all, I am quite new to ConTeXt and I wished to know if it was possible to easily typeset paragraphs with non rectangle shape. More specifically I’d like to make a paragraph which ends with a tailpiece, ie finishes like a triangle (the text width decreases until reaching very narrow width at last line). Many thanks Best regards Joseph Canedo
