Dear list members,
Another mode related question:
When combining modes, a rather large double space appears between two
mode blocks (i.e. where the first mode stops and the second mode begins)
In the MWE below are 3 cases. The large space is not present in the 3rd case
Is this intended behaviour?
sure, you get what you ask for

Kind regards,

\blank[big]
% Case 3 - Double space NOT present
\startmode[X]
    \input ward
    \doifmode{Y}{\input ward}

you can always do:

\removeunwantedspaces\space\input ward

Dear list members
If using modes to show or hide certain part of the text.
In the MWE below the part between the startmode[test] .. stopmode
works jus fine. When using the \doifmode construction an error is
produced on the position of the closing curly bracket.
I prefer to use \doifmode constructions because they can be nested.
The question block must play a role here but I don’t know why.
Am I overlooking something here?
Kind regards,

in order to get rid of the {} the \doifmode match has to grad the
argument which doesn't work well with commands that change the nature
of the \ on the fly, so it's a no-go
