Hello, IMHO space should be gobbled after \startmode[...], and it should *not* be gobbled after \externalfigure[...].
But ConTeXt does it the other way round: \enablemode[test] \starttext bla \startmode[test] text for test-mode \stopmode bla \externalfigure[hacker][width=3em] bla\blank[big] Now with workarounds:\blank[big] bla \startmode[test]% text for test-mode \stopmode bla \externalfigure[hacker][width=3em]\ bla \stoptext What do you think?
