pausing compilation to show a message

pausing compilation to show a message

[Pablo Rodriguez]

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

Re: pausing compilation to show a message

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
