Indents, enumerations, and modes (mk2+mk4)

Indents, enumerations, and modes (mk2+mk4)

[Matthias Weber]

Dear all,

I have two questions regarding using spacing in enumerations.  
Depending on a mode being enabled, I would like to add a command at  
the beginning of
an enumeration (I want to place something in the margin, but it  
doesn't actually matter what I do, only when).
  As shown in the minimal example below, invoking the macro that does  
something, a little extra space is added.
I don't know why, it is probably something very TeX-basic I am  
ignorant of. So: How do I get rid of the extra space?
The problem occurs both in mk2 and mk4, I would prefer a solution that  
also works in mk2.

Thanks!


Matthias

\def\mma
   {\startmode[mma]% not sure here
    ...%
    \stopmode}

or use setups

\startsetups[mma]
\startmode[mma]
...
\stopmode
\stopsetups

\startexample
\setups[mma]
\stopexample

or maybe

\def\mma{\doifmode{mma}{....}}

or perhaps

\def\mma{}%default

% override the definition in a mode
\startmode[mma]
\def\mma{in mode mma}
\stopmode
