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.
