According to Miklos Cserzo:
for iteration_variable := initial_value to final_value do statementor for iteration_variable := initial_value downto final_value do statement or while boolean_expression do statement or with list_element[,...] do statement
or to begin do statement; or ^ Better mention it with or without this one? to end do statement;
(* Module constructors/destructors according to ISO-10206 Extended Pascal. *)
DESCRIPTION:
"do" is a reserved word in all Pascal standards. It is used for constructing loops during the execution with "for" and "while" statements.
... and `with' and `to begin' and `to end'. This is becoming too clumsy.
The statement following the "do" - the body of the "do" statement - will be executed in cycles according to the controlling iteration variable or boolean expression respectively. [...]
This is confusing because it makes people think that `do' by itself has the flavour of a loop.
Better just mention that the reserved word `do' is part of other constructions (`for', `while', `with', `to begin', `to end', ... did I forget something?), heavily cross-refer to them and don't try to explain the details of loops or a `with' statement at this place.
EXAMPLE:
See the section of the reference under "for", "while" and"with" for the examples.
SEE ALSO: for, while, with
Agreed (modulo `to begin' and `to end'). :-)
