You know about \startnotmode and that you can use lists of modes? \startmode[short,long] Something that appears everywhere. \stopmode \startmode[long] % or \startnotmode[short] Something that’s only in the long version. \stopmode
Many thanks; will study this.
Unfortunately - as pointed out on the wiki - modes cannot be nested. : Why would you need that? : Can you give an example for a use case? : That looks to me like flawed logic – why should content for the unabridged version appear within the abridged version?
TeX comments will illustrate: ============== This text goes into the abridged version. % This text will appear in the unabridged version. And this text goes into the abridged version. % And this text goes into the unabridged version. And this additional text goes into the abridged version. % And this additional text goes into the unabridged version. ============== An abridged run will ignore the commented text, and an unabridged run will include it. Consider variant texts: ======= Here is some text that contains % mode=variantone includes % mode=varianttwo is comprised of % mode=variantthree some variants. Here is some more text that features % mode=variantone exhibits % mode=varianttwo illustrates % mode=variantthree some variants. ======= This example is to be processed to produce exactly three distinct results. So, e.g., "contains" and "features" belong to variantone. Etc. So like XML.
It might be a bit annoying, but you could end the previous mode before starting the next.
Assuming that I'm not misunderstanding you: For a book-length project, that would be beyond annoying.
And, as mentioned above, you can use \startmode with lists.
Will try it. Thank you again! Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512
