As for breaking out of a loop, how about (extremely untested):

the raise tag should then jump to the except tag and therefore out of the loop or something like that, maybe, possibly, ;).

I *was* going to mention about <dtml-raise > but I knew Phil would be lurking, and he doesn't get out much! :)
To add *some* content to this mail, I *think* you can do _.xrange() too, so that largeish loops can also be done...checking source....(DT_Util.py) nope. I was wrong. No xrange, but _.range() has got a limit of 1000, so you won't be doing any infinite loops using *that* function... Well, I'm not sure that the 1000 limit does any good ;) <dtml-in "_.range(999)"> <dtml-let out=sequence-item> <dtml-in "_.range(999)"> <dtml-var "out*999+_['sequence-item']"><BR> </dtml-in> </dtml-in>
