#45 pause input for text mode

[Andrew Goktepe]

In text mode, an informational, read-only page with nothing but comments will scroll up the screen and immediately be replaced by the next page. The user does not have any opportunity to read the contents of the page before moving on. This is not a problem in the Swing mode because of the Back/Next buttons on every page.

I propose that a new "pause" input type be added which only applies to text mode and allows for page-mode interaction. A displayText attribute can allow the installer developer to choose the text displayed. (Example: "Press enter to continue..."). This can be used as the last input type on a page to achieve the stopping of a page of all comments until the user has read it and hits enter to continue to the next page.

Attached is a diff file that makes this change on the trunk code. If this is accepted then an entry should also be added to the DTD file for the pause element.
