Consulting the mailing list, I thought the following code was working, but it’s not ! The code is executed in the mode as expected, but the following instructions ("Some other text... » in the exemple) is not typeset.

If you only set `ClassRoom` mode at compile time (rather than setting and unsetting it the middle of the document), then you can do:

\definebuffer[Questions]

\startmode[ClassRoom]
\define\StopQuestionsList {...}

\definestartstop[Questions][...]
\stopmode
