Thank you for hinting at the environment form. The problem with this is,
that it cannot be nested, and that there is no "else" form.
E.g:
\startmode[A]
... mode A
\startmode[B]
... mode A and mode B
\elsemode
... mode A and not mode B
\stopmode
\stopmode
I know that there is \start(not)mode and \start(not)allmodes, but there
seems to be no way to use a general boolean expression such as:
\startmodes[A and not B]
...
\stopmodes
Of course we can do this in lua:
if tex.modes["A"] and not tex.modes{"B"] then
...
end
Keep up your excellent work! Cheers,
Christoph
