Modes

Often you'd like to publish different versions of a document, say a presentation and a handout or a student's and a teacher's version.
ConTeXt supports such filtering with its modes:
ConTeXt is a great TeX macro package. \startmode[handout] % The following text will only appear in the handout It’s based on PlainTeX like the better known LaTeX. \stopmode
\startnotmode[print] Here's a link to my homepage: \url[...] \stopnotmode
...mode and ...notmode let you filter your content sufficient in most cases. You can also give several modes like \startmode[handout,print].
You can typeset the different modes like:
texexec myfile --mode=handout --result=handout.pdf
You don't need the --result, but otherwise you'd get the same filename for both modes.
