With a Danish train ticket, can you pause for a few hours when changing trains?
Looking at the train times for a Danish rail journey tomorrow, it looks like we're going to have to change trains somewhere no matter what we do. There are no Orange tickets left (restricted to specific trains), just the Standard ones. We're pondering getting a slightly earlier train, and seeing a bit of the city we'll be changing trains in, if that's allowed.
While changing trains in Denmark, on a through Standard ticket, is it permitted to leave the station and go look around the city for a few hours, before continuing on? Or would our ticket cease to be valid if we didn't take the first sensible connection?

This depends slightly on where you're going.
If your entire journey is within one of the regional tariff areas, you will be traveling on a local ticket, which generally come with a maximal duration measured in hours, and is issued with a timestamp.
On the other hand, if you're crossing tariff area boundaries (such as if your itinerary crosses either of the Great Belt or the Small Belt), then you'll be traveling on DSB tariff -- and if you have a paper ticket, it will be stamped mechanically in by the staff of the first train to check it, with a stamp that contains the date and train number, but not the current time. The staff of the next train will not generally go around remembering when which train numbers on other routes go, so they have no way to know whether you went for a walk while changing trains. When they see an already-stamped ticket for a journey that their own train could not have been the first train on, the most they can easily check is that the date is right.
