\setupcolors[state=start]
\stopmode
if needed, accompanied by:
\startnotmode[screen]
\setupcolors[state=start,conversion=always]
\stopnotmode
One can also pass more than one mode, separated by comma’s. There are also some low level
mode dependant commands. Given that we are dealing with a screen mode, we can say:
\doifmodeelse {screen} {do this} {and not that}
\doifmode {screen} {do something}
\doifnotmode {screen} {do something else}
A mode can be activated by saying:
\enablemode[screen]
\disablemode[screen]
Again, we can pass more modes:
\enablemode[paper,A4]
One strength of T E Xexec is that one is not forced to enable modes in a file: one can simply
pass a command line switch. Just as with choosing the output format: the less we spoil the
document source with output and mode settings, the more flexible we are.

2.6 Modes 24
To enable users to develop a style that adapts itself to certain circumstances, ConT E Xt provide
system modes. For the moment there are:
*list
*register
*interaction
*sectionblock
the list one called for is placed indeed
the register one called for is placed indeed
interaction (hyperlinks etc) are turned on
the named sectionblock is entered
System modes are prefixed by a *, so they will not conflict with user modes. An example of a
sectionblock mode is *frontmatter. One can use these modes like:
\startmode[*interaction]
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\stopmode
search go back exit
