Dear gang,
For creating/authoring content in ConTeXt: Can modes or the like be used
for content control? For example, someone wants to write at least two
versions of a book managed from a single file. So, e.g., we may have
a) abridged content
b) unabridged content - includes a)
c) abridged content + translation
d) unabridged content + translation
[:]
One can author and organize this in XML - pre-ConteXt - but perhaps one
prefers to write in ConTeXt (take advantage of shortcuts etc.). So maybe
\defineparagraphs[unabridged]
\defineparagraphs[abridged]
\defineparagraphs[translation]
Then one authors the complete work in a single project, but you can
produce a variety of versions, depending on the mode chosen:
\definemode[unabridged]
etc.
Can one do this in context? If so, does anyone have some working example
of how to do it? Might even be worth a MyWay if not too unwieldy.. Thank
you in advance!
see tests files in blocks path of test suite ... one of the oldest
mechanisms in context (as we needed it for on source multiple output in
educational documents)
