pausing compilation to show a message
Dear list, I have this minimal sample: \starttext \writestatus{apples}{oranges} \message{Have you checked this variable?} \stoptext Is there a way that I can pause the compilation proccess to show the message and that compilation would continue by pressing any key? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Replying to my own message, I have the following sample: \starttext \message{Important Warning!!! } \message{Have you checked the input text? } \executesystemcommand{read -p ...} \input zapf \stoptext I’m experiencing two issues with the code above: How can I show the message only in the first run? Is there any conditional based on the run number? How can I insert a new line in \message? Many thanks for your help, Pablo On 04/24/2015 07:37 PM, Pablo Rodriguez wrote:

a system mode: \doifmode{*first}{...}
