I want to put to some paragraphs, each as framed text, on one line.
Such as:

\stopframedtext
\startframedtext[width=...]
    para 2
    \startitemize
    ....etc
\stopframedtext

I tried some things but the two frames will not come out on one line.
How to do this?

\placesidebyside (context manual p.228) should work. A \hbox is another
option, but maybe too unhandy for this.

Greetings, Peter

No, that will not work.
After much probing I found the culprit.
The framedtext takes the full linewidth and apparently does not reduces it to the given size.
Therefore enclosing in a vbox seems necessary:
   \vbox{\hsize=framesize\startframedtext{width=framesize ...

Question for Hans Hagen: is it an option letting framedtext set the hsize when a specific width is given?
