    Note that once different modes are set, the only way to turn them

I'd try something like this:

null: * .?*
uasm: *.html

If it's only one directory (and not subdirectories) you could use skip
instead of null.  But I'm afraid skip will stop descending directories,
so you couldn't see html files at lower levels.  That's just a guess
though.  I haven't played with how they descend in a while.
