build mode

[PARTIAL RESOLUTION]

Both these are needed to work for teaser nodes in a view, at least:

In a theme, you just override the target function.

In a module, you need to jump through some hoops.

See method 2 at http://definitivedrupal.org/resource/brutally-removing-extra-divs-preprocess-suggestions

Q: if you need to add a dead simple view mode to theme a node template differently, basically give Views in addition to "full node", "teaser", a "bastard step-child" option, quick custom code or is a module?

A, by Fox: just do the hook. the hook is simple as hell

Q: and Views sees it automatically?
