I have a single *.tex file that I have setup, here's a simple minimal example:
\define\macroA{This outputs some stuff.}
\define\macroB{\input knuth }
\define\macroC{This outputs other stuff.}
\define\macroD{This outputs other stuff.}
\define\macroE{This outputs other stuff.}
\define[2]\macroF{This is text #1 and #2.}
\define\macroG{This outputs other stuff.}
\define\macroH{This outputs other stuff.}
\starttext
\macroA %\macroB %\macroC %\macroD %\macroE
%%% some more code
\macroF{a}{b} \macroG \macroH
\stoptext
Normally, I will compile it as above, so only two of the macros actually appear. But sometimes, for testing purposes, I want to make sure my code is functioning good, so I will go an un-comment all of the macros, and then compile, and it basically does a test, making sure all of the macros in my code function perfectly. When testing, it looks like this:
\starttext
\macroA \macroB \macroC \macroD \macroE
%%% some more code
\macroF{a}{b} \macroG \macroH
\stoptext
Because the actual file is quite large, commenting and un-commenting the lines takes a long time, and can lead to mistakes. Is there any simpler way to easily switch between the two versions?
