When I run the code below (via minimals), I get the following error,
why?
enter loop

I think the loop structure should be:
\loop ... \if... ... \repeat
just use:
\doloop {
\ifwhateveryoulike
\exitloop
\fi
Hans,
Thanks, that works. But shouldn't the other one work as well? Is there
something wrong with the syntax?
you cannot use else in plain's loop macro; nor can you use it nested;
it's just the way the plain loop macro is defined
