Does python mako template support connitue/break in loop context?

Question

Is it possible to use continue/break in a %control structure loop.

For example:

% for x in range(1):
 % continue
% endfor

Thanks,

Answer 1

Yes. You use <% continue %> and <% break %>.

Example:

from mako.template import Template 
t = Template( 
""" 
% for i in xrange(5): 
    % if i == 3: 
        <% break %> 
    % endif 
    ${i} 
% endfor 
% for i in xrange(5): 
    % if i == 3: 
        <% continue %> 
    % endif 
    ${i} 
% endfor 
""") 
print t.render() 

Output:

0 
1 
2 
0 
1 
2 
4
