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
Is this what you are wanting (from Customization manual
5.3.7)? (I experimented with this a couple of years ago, so my
memory of the exact effect is somewhat hazy.)

|LabelType|
[|/No_Label/, Manual, Static, Above,
Centered, Sensitive, Enumerate,
Itemize, Bibliography|]
|Static|
means the label is simply what is declared as
|LabelString|. This will be displayed “inline”, at the
beginning of the paragraph. If the |LatexType| is
|Environment|, then it will be displayed only in the
first paragraph of any sequence of paragraphs with the
same |Style|.
|Above| and |Centered|
are special cases of |Static|. The label will be
printed above the paragraph either at the beginning of
the line or centered.

Thanks for the reply, but no, that doesn't work. With a command
type style (and combined with a LabelString argument) it does
not seem to do anything in either the GUI or the output. I
tried it with an environment, and I believe the label string
showed up in the output but not the GUI. (I would have to
double-check that.)
Try this in Local Layout (to test):
Format 66
Style ForLoop
LatexType Command
LabelType Static
LabelString "ForLoop: "
EndLabelType Static
Margin Static
LeftMargin "ForLoop: "
LabelFont
Color red
Series bold
EndFont
EndLabelString " EndForLoop"
LatexName forloop
End
The margin always throws me off. If it's wrong, the label is off
screen to the left.
You could also try "LabelType Above" and remove the margin stuff.
Riki
Thanks Riki! That at least gets me headed in the right direction.
I don't know why I wasn't getting the label string to display
before -- maybe because I failed to specify the Margin,
LeftMargin or LabelFont? (I did specify LabelType and
LabelString, with no luck.)
The margin business is going to be interesting. Your code has the
correct left margin when select the ForLoop style from the
environment list, but when I nest it (inside an algorithmicx
environment) the label moves to the left (I would have expected
right) and blows the left margin. I expect that an exhaustive try
of all choices will eventually find one that works.
It would not surprise me if there were a bug here about margin
handling. Can you send an MWE? Put any new layout code into Local
Layout.
Riki
I think the attached MWE shows what I was talking about. (At least,
it does for me.) To avoid requiring any special packages, I'm using
the quote environment as a surrogate for the algorithmic
environment and a dummy LaTeX function as a surrogate for the
actual for block code.
Can you create a bug report for this? I do not know this part of the
code at all well.
Riki
I could update the MWE to include what I discovered about other
margin choices, but to be honest I'm not sure how much if any of this
is a bug and how much is an ID10T error. :-)
It does not look right to me at all.
Riki
Okay, I've opened ticket 11347 for the label positioning part. I have
another issue, for which I'll probably open a separate ticket.
Thanks,
Paul
