If you look in the reference manual which is contained in K&R, you will see
that the semantics of the continue statement are fully described in terms of
equivalences among while, do-while, and for loops.  Section 9.9 (p. 203) clears
up the `exception' you perceive.  Please bear in mind that the section that you
quoted is part of a tutorial, and so all the gory details aren't presented at
once or in the same place.
