Dear Marco,

I'd like to type two blocks of text with different 'align' settings
side by
side.

Here's one way to do it:

\setupframed
  [offset=1ex,
   width=8cm,
   frame=off]

\starttext
  \placesidebyside
    {\startframed[align={normal,left}]  \input knuth\par\stopframed}
    {\startframed[align={normal,right}] \input knuth\par\stopframed}
\stoptext

Marco

thanks for this. I removed that framed=off option and it turned out to be 
sligthly different from what I'd like to achieve.

My goal is to have two blocks with a vertical gap between them and to have 
these blocks framed (or with the colored background) at the text area - without 
the cell spans - to show differences between the standard and 'hanging' 
alignments (that right border should cross the punctuation in the hanging mode).

Below each 'column' I'd like to place a short description (centered) - exactly 
as on the referenced examples.
