Hi Mikael,

I suppose the files test1 and test2 have a special structure ?

%%% file.tex

\doifnotmode{test1}{\enablemode[test1,test2]}
\starttext
\startmode[test1,all]
We are in mode test1.
\stopmode
\startmode[test2,all]
We are in mode test2.
\stopmode
\stoptext

%%%

%%% test1.tex

????

%%%

%%% test2.tex

???

%%%

Hi Mikael,
I do not know this way yet. Can you attach a complete example ?

There’s also

\startnotmode[some]
This is not typeset in "some" mode.
\stopnotmode

Fabrice,

Taco's example is complete. Try

context file.tex

context --mode=test1 file.tex

context --mode=all file.tex

and you will get, in turn, nothing, the content in mode test1, everything.
