continue / break control statements?

Migrated issue, originally created by Anonymous

Hi,

I was wondering how to use control/break within a loop. I didn't find anything in the docs, so I tried this:

% for i in range(10):
% if i == 3:
% continue
% endif
${i}
% endfor

That didn't work, so I ended up with this:

% for i in range(10):
<%
if i == 3:
continue
%>
${i}
% endfor

I find the first version is more readable. Perhaps it would be nice to have 'continue' and 'break' statements to complement the flow control.

Alternatively, if there's another preferred method for issuing a continue or break, it would be great to have an example in the docs.

Thanks!

Review the control-flow documentation and existing loop examples, then compare the two syntax forms shown in the issue. Determine whether direct continue and break statements are intended, or whether the preferred existing method should be documented; done means the chosen behavior or documented example is clear and verified.
