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.)
