I wanted something that will work consistently in MkII and MkIV. I can do:
\doifmodeelse{\s!mkii} {\let\ReadFilter\ReadFile} {\def\ReadFilter#1{\doreadfile{any}\empty{#1}\donothing\donothing}}
but, I wanted to avoid such things if possible :-/
Does this work:
\def\ReadFilter#1% {\readsetfile{/tmp/}{#1}\donothing\donothing}
Yes, for both MkII and MkIV. But this still does not fit the requirement of my module. \setupexternalfilters [directory=, outputfile=~/output/\externalfilterinputfile.tex, readcommand=\ReadFilter] will fail. (The above will generate all the *-*.tmp files in current directory, which can be purged by passing --purge. The output files are generated in ~/output directory for future reference. But \ReadFilter cannot read the file. I think that I will go with separate definitions for MkII and MkIV, or perhaps even redefine \ReadFile just before the read function is defined.
(BTW, why is system mode *mkii not set in MkII?)
Maybe Hans forgot it for mkii but it doesn’t matter whether mkii/mkiv is a normal mode or a system mode.
IIRC, system modes cannot be reset using \(enable|disable)mode. Aditya
