But tex *does* recognize paragraph endings. After all it does
paragraph separation in a very reliable way and inserts a \par
token.
You could redefine \par to insert something:
\def\par{end of line\endgraf}
\starttext
abc
abc
abc
abc \par blblbl
\stoptext
But as \par is used in various places it could get rather difficult
to fight against the side-effects. A dedicated \stopparagraph
command is much easier to control.

My guess, untested, would be \setupparagraph[after=\thinrule] I actually tried that before sending the note to the list. It doesn't work; if it is supposed to work then I guess it's a bug. Of course, using \start-stopparagraph is much more verbose than simply adding a control sequence at the end of each par. It's also curious that, for all its power, TeX has no straightforward way to recognize paragraph endings. But I'll bet Hans could figure out a way to do it in lua. On the other hand, this is not a priority at this juncture; more experimental.

If you need this to happen before macro expansion, then there are two options: use input translation (see, for example, the m-translate module) or capture the entire content in a buffer and use Lua to do the appropriate substitutions (see, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Programming_in_LuaTeX#Manipulating_verbatim_text) Both these methods will miss things like: one paragraph \par second paragraph, etc. Aditya___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
