Dear devs,
I'm struggling to cobble together a module supporting the pseudocode
features of the algorithmicx package. As a disclaimer, I'm trying to
avoid flex insets and stick to environments as much as possible, because
there's less mousery switching an environment than insert an inset.
Right now, I'm tripping over the for block, which it implements by two
LaTeX commands: \For{<conditions>} and \EndFor. I can treat those as
command styles and get the correct output, but the GUI is confusing to
the user because nothing displays in the line ending the loop (it looks
like a blank line to the user) and the condition appears in the starting
line with no visible prefix (so it looks like any random statement in
the algorithm, unless you notice what the environment select box is
displaying.
So what I'm looking for right now is a way to display a
tag/prefix/symbol at the start of a command style that appears in the
GUI but /not/ in the compiled output. The "handle" for an inset would be
fine, as would something like a bullet that was GUI-only. Can this be
done with the current layout/module system?
TIA,
Paul
