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

enter loop

! Extra \else.

\@@plniterate ...\expandafter \@@plniterate \else

\fi

\myloop ...by 1 \ifnum \tempcnta >#1\else \repeat

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? Bart
