== Description ==
Repeat until {{cmd|exitloop}} is encountered.
== Example ==
<context source=yes>
\setuppapersize[A10, landscape][A8, landscape]
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[edge]
\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{
hello\crlf
\doloop{
\ifnum \pagenumber=\recurselevel
\exitloop
\fi
bla
}
\page[yes]
}
\stoptext
