I wanted something that will work consistently in MkII and MkIV. I can do:
\doifmodeelse{\s!mkii}
{\let\ReadFilter\ReadFile}
{\def\ReadFilter#1{\doreadfile{any}\empty{#1}\donothing\donothing}}
but, I wanted to avoid such things if possible :-/
Does this work:
\def\ReadFilter#1%
{\readsetfile{/tmp/}{#1}\donothing\donothing}
Yes, for both MkII and MkIV. But this still does not fit the requirement
of my module.
\setupexternalfilters
[directory=,
outputfile=~/output/\externalfilterinputfile.tex,
readcommand=\ReadFilter]
will fail. (The above will generate all the *-*.tmp files in current
directory, which can be purged by passing --purge. The output files are
generated in ~/output directory for future reference. But \ReadFilter
cannot read the file.
I think that I will go with separate definitions for MkII and MkIV, or
perhaps even redefine \ReadFile just before the read function is defined.
(BTW, why is system mode *mkii not set in MkII?)
Maybe Hans forgot it for mkii but it doesn’t matter whether mkii/mkiv is a
normal mode or a system mode.
IIRC, system modes cannot be reset using \(enable|disable)mode.
