Hi!

I am writing notes for my teaching and would like to do the following with modes:

* If the file is compiled with context file.tex then everything (i.e. the content in all modes) is typeset. * If the file is compiled with context --mode=test1 file.tex then only mode test1 is typeset.

I do not see how to do this easily.

This is what I would do if the list of modes is small:

\doifnotmode{test1}{\enablemode[test1,test2]}

(and don’t use the \definemode lines)

But if you need many of them, that could get problematic with many nested \doifmodeelse statements.

In that case, I would use a separate ‘all’ mode, and call the context script with that as argument in the generic case.

%%% file.tex \starttext \startmode[test1,all] We are in mode test1. \stopmode \startmode[test2,all] We are in mode test2. \stopmode \stoptext %%%

Best wishes, Taco

Thank you, Taco! I have around 25 of them, and your solution with "all" works indeed well for me. /Mikael
