Dear list members,

Another mode related question:

When combining modes, a rather large double space appears between two mode blocks (i.e. where the first mode stops and the second mode begins)
In the MWE below are 3 cases. The large space is not present in the 3rd case

Is this intended behaviour?

Kind regards,
Jan Willem

\enablemode[X]
\enablemode[Y]

\starttext

% Case 1 - Double space present
\startmode[X]
    \input ward
\stopmode
\startmode[Y]
    \input ward
\stopmode

\blank[big]

% Case 2 - Double space present
\startmode[X]
    \input ward
    \doifmode{Y}{
\input ward
}
\stopmode

\blank[big]

% Case 3 - Double space NOT present
\startmode[X]
    \input ward
    \doifmode{Y}{\input ward}
\stopmode

\stoptext

If using modes to show or hide certain part of the text.

In the MWE below the part between the startmode[test] .. stopmode works jus fine. When using the \doifmode construction an error is produced on the position of the closing curly bracket.
I prefer to use \doifmode constructions because they can be nested. The question block must play a role here but I don’t know why.

Am I overlooking something here?

Kind regards,

\enablemode[test]

\starttext

   \doifmode{test}{

       \input knuth

   }

in order to get rid of the {} the \doifmode match has to grad the argument which doesn't work well with commands that change the nature of the \ on the fly, so it's a no-go


   \startmode[test]

       \input knuth
