[NTG-context] A problem with modes

2012-06-26 Thread Marcin Borkowski
Hello,

this doesn't work for me:

\definestartstop[amode][before={\startmode[a]},
after={\stopmode}]

\starttext

All modes.
\startamode
  ``A'' mode.
\stopamode

\stoptext

Can I use \startmode with \definestartstop?  Or is there a better way
to do something like this?

TIA

(Untested): try the \doifmodeelse version.

No you can’t.

It depends on what you want to do. You can create a buffer command:

\def\startamode{\grabbufferdata[amode][startamode][stopamode]}
%\def\stopamode {\getbuffer[amode]}

\starttext

All modes.
\startamode
“A” mode.
\stopamode

\stoptext

or you use my annotation module:

\usemodule[annotation]

\defineannotation[amode][alternative=text]
%\defineannotation[amode][alternative=none]

\starttext

All modes.
\startamode
“A” mode.
\stopamode

\stoptext

I was afraid of this...

Thanks, it worked.  One question: is there any difference between

\def\starta{...}
\def\stopa{...}

and

\definestartstop[a][before={...},after={...}]

?

Yes because in my definition for \startamode I start a buffer which reads 
everything
untill the delimiting \stopamode and stores it in memory, afterwards you can 
access
the stored content with \getbuffer[…]. When you use \definestartstop to create
the environment you have only two commands which perform a few things at the 
begin
and end of the environment but you can do much with the content itself, the only
way to gobble the content is to store it in a box but than the buffer method is 
easier.
