I understand the concept of modes (what they are for) but have been having difficulty putting them into execution, and/or untangling them in pre-existing code. A technical explanation with examples is more what I'm looking for. > I have seen modes used to disambiguate template rules where priorities would have done the job, so the appearance of modes in pre-existing code may be gratuitous. My personal preference is to restrict the usage of modes to the use case where they are necessary, that way the appearance of modes in code highlights that the nodes in question are being processed by more than one template rule and their absence signals they are not. As Ken usefully pointed out this assumes push style processing. I find such disciplines useful, it saves you from having to read the code to find out the same thing.
