It's not clear what "continue" means here. In English, it would mean "continue to the next step", in most programming languages, it means "stop these steps and start them again on the next iteration".

I want it to mean the latter. Looping in Domenic for pipe dream ideas.
Comment 2 Domenic Denicola 2014-05-22 15:19:55 UTC
I've got nothing special. Maybe explicitly call out loops (using that word), and say e.g. "continue the loop." Dunno.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-05-23 20:11:32 UTC
I just say to return to the top of the loop, or label the top of the loop and say to jump to that step.
