You know about \startnotmode and that you can use lists of modes?
\startmode[short,long]
Something that appears everywhere.
\stopmode
\startmode[long] % or \startnotmode[short]
Something that’s only in the long version.
\stopmode
Many thanks; will study this.
Unfortunately - as pointed out on the wiki - modes cannot be nested.

Why would you need that?

Can you give an example for a use case?

That looks to me like flawed logic – why should content for the
unabridged version appear within the abridged version?
TeX comments will illustrate:
==============
This text goes into the abridged version.
% This text will appear in the unabridged version.
And this text goes into the abridged version.
% And this text goes into the unabridged version.
And this additional text goes into the abridged version.
% And this additional text goes into the unabridged version.
==============
An abridged run will ignore the commented text, and an unabridged run will
include it.
Consider variant texts:
=======
Here is some text that
contains % mode=variantone
includes % mode=varianttwo
is comprised of % mode=variantthree
some variants.
Here is some more text that
features % mode=variantone
exhibits % mode=varianttwo
illustrates % mode=variantthree
some variants.
=======
This example is to be processed to produce exactly three distinct results.
So, e.g., "contains" and "features" belong to variantone. Etc. So like XML.
It might be a bit annoying, but you could end the previous mode before
starting the next.
Assuming that I'm not misunderstanding you: For a book-length project,
that would be beyond annoying.
And, as mentioned above, you can use \startmode with lists.
Will try it. Thank you again!
Best wishes
Idris
