1) As said in my email, I used the same switching mechanism as the
SS&FS (but at the moment made it only on F1 to F4).
Does you mean that the syntax mechanism in the SS&FS is not fine ?
Why ?

2) We cannot use the same mechanism as the Primer (simple switch
buttons), because the optional syntaxes are within the Examples which
are themselves optional. This is the same case for SS&FS. It's why I
used the same mechanism as SS&FS.

I precisely asked you twice, and was waiting for the answer to know
whether I have to put  a colon.
Thanks for the clarification, will add.
