Thanks (again). ConTeXt is always full of ressource ! I did not know we could
do this, even if I realized now that there is a similar example in the wiki.
For the list, in case in the future this would be useful for another user,
below is the complete minimal example using this approach.
% - Minimal working example :
\setuppapersize[S5][S5]
\enablemode[Professor]
\defineblock[Complement]
\setupblock[Complement][
before={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=stop]\setupheadertexts[]\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]},
after={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=start]}]
\starttext
% Let's process the summaries ;
\beginComplement[Two]
Last course, we have seen A.
\endComplement
\beginComplement[Three]
Last course, we have seen B….
\endComplement
\beginComplement[Three]
Last course, we have seen C….
\endComplementThree
\beginComplement[Four]
Last course, we have seen D….
\endComplementFour
\beginComplement
and E !
\endComplementFour
% summaries: end ;
Let's begin course 1.
This is course 1 : a lot of pages here about A!
\page[yes]
Let's begin course 2.
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[Complement][Two]
}
This is course 2 : a lot of pages here about B and C!
\page[yes]
Let's begin course 3.
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[Complement][Three]
}
This is course 3 : a lot of pages here about D... !
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[Complement][Four]
}
The course 4 !

According to the wiki, we cannot nest several \startmode …\stopmode, but there
is no limitation with \doifmode.

Following your advice, I tried with several {}, but no luck.

I already use blocks, but following your message, I tried to think differently.
One solution would be to define a block for each course. Something like this (a
working minimal example, redone in order this would be more easier to
understand (I hope!) what I’m trying to do):
% —
\setuppapersize[S5][S5]
\enablemode[Professor]
\defineblock[ComplementTwo]
\defineblock[ComplementThree]
\setupblock[ComplementTwo,ComplementThree][
before={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=stop]\setupheadertexts[]\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]},
after={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=start]}]
\starttext
% Let's process the summaries ;
\beginComplementTwo
Last course, we have seen A.
\endComplementTwo
\beginComplementThree
Last course, we have seen B….
\endComplementThree
\beginComplementThree
Last course, we have seen C….
\endComplementThree
%
Let's begin course 1.
This is course 1 : a lot of pages here about A!
\page[yes]
Let's begin course 2.
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[ComplementTwo]
}
This is course 2 : a lot of pages here about B and C!
\page[yes]
Let's begin course 3.
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[ComplementThree]
}
This is course 3 : a lot of pages here about D... !
\stoptext
%—
The only inconvenient of this solution if that I have to define 15 blocks (one
for each week of the term): ComplementOne, ComplementTwo, ..,
ComplementFithteen… Another drawback of this is difficult to move one block
form one week to another if I change something. Each block here correspond in
fact to a summary of the previous course. So I have typically around 10 pages
of summary for each course. The challenge is that the content of each course is
not exactly the same form one term to another, so I have to move a page to the
summary from one course to the other one, like in a given term, if teach about
subject C in course 3 :
\beginComplementThree
Last course, we have seen C….
\endComplementThree
, but next term in course 4:
\beginComplementFour
Last course, we have seen C….
\\beginComplementFour
I have to manually change \beginComplementThree … \endComplementThree to
\beginComplementFour … \beginComplementFour.
But I will do this if I do not find another solution.
Thanks again Hraban.

You can’t nest modes in \startmode ... \stopmode.
I don’t know what are the limitations of \doifmode.
Maybe it helps to use additional grouping with {}, \bgroup .. \egroup or
\start .. \stop.
In my courses notes, I insert some blocks (named « Complement » in the
minimal exemple below) when in « Professor » mode. This works fine, as
shown in the first « \beginComplement … \endComplement » of my example

Maybe you can work with buffers or (ConTeXt) blocks (the latter were

[NTG-context] Blocks inside a conditional mode.
Dear list,
I have an error when I try to insert a block inside a conditional mode (but
there is two nested conditional mode.. is this the problem ?).
In my courses notes, I insert some blocks (named « Complement » in the minimal
exemple below) when in « Professor » mode. This works fine, as shown in the
first « \beginComplement … \endComplement » of my example below.
But now I have to use another condition for some blocks, depending of the
number of the current course. So I insert my block with a condition, here «
CourseOne » :
\enablemode[CourseOne]
\doifmode{CourseOne}{
\beginComplement
Another complementary slide.
\endComplement
}
But this does not work :
%
tex error > tex error on line 1 in file
/Users/fabricel/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5]
%
The problem can be summarized in this minimal non working example :
% — MWE —
\setuppapersize[S5][S5]
\enablemode[Professor]
\defineblock[Complement]
\setupblock[Complement][
before={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=stop]\setupheadertexts[]\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]},
after={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=start]}]
\doifallmodes{Professor} {
\keepblocks[Complement]
}
\starttext
page 1
\beginComplement
A complementary slide.
\endComplement
page 2
\enablemode[CourseOne]
\doifmode{CourseOne}{
\beginComplement
Another complementary slide but only for course number 1.
\endComplement
}
\disablemode[CourseOne]
page 3
\enablemode[CourseTwo]
\doifmode{CourseTwo}{
\beginComplement
Another complementary slide but only for course number 2.
\endComplement
}
\disablemode[CourseTwo]
\stoptext
\stoptext
% — MWE —
Blocks and modes usually works fine for me, but here, I do not understand my
error.
Thanks for any help !
Fabrice.
Note : in case this way of doing things seems a bit silly, here are more
explanations. I do use mode « CourseOne » here because in the real life, the
content in the condition « \doifmode{CourseOne}{ …} » is read in an external
file, containing material for « CourseOne », « CourseTwo », etc. The setup is
then, in the main file :
% Main file : begin
Bla bla bla ...
\enablemode[CourseOne]
\input ComplementMaterial.tex
\disablemode[CourseOne]
Bla bla bla ...
\enablemode[CourseOne]
\input ComplementMaterial.tex
\disablemode[CourseOne]
% Main file : end
And in the « ComplementMaterial.tex » there is :
% ComplementMaterial.tex —
\doifmode{CourseOne}{
\beginComplement
A complementary slide but only for course number 1.
\endComplement
\beginComplement
Another complementary slide but only for course number 1.
\endComplement
}
\doifmode{CourseTwo}{
\beginComplement
A complementary slide but only for course number 2.
\endComplement
\beginComplement
Another complementary slide but only for course number 2.
\endComplement
}
% ComplementMaterial.tex —
