I am using the algorithm environment and I do not know how to make the lines for the loops under the corresponding word, not where I have them now.

Here is my code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ruled,vlined,linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\SetKwInOut{Parameters}{Parameters}

\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}[htb]
    \DontPrintSemicolon 
    \justifying 
    \caption{The caption}
    \KwData{Some data}
    \Parameters{a,b}
    \KwResult{Result}
    \For{something or other}{
        This is some random text \;
        Some more text\;    
    }   
    More text here
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}

I am getting the following:

How can I fix the problem? I want the line to appear right under for.

Thanks, any suggestion will be appreciated.

Remove \justifying from within the algorithm environment:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[ruled,vlined,linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}

\SetKwInOut{Parameters}{Parameters}

\begin{document}

\begin{algorithm}[htb]
  \DontPrintSemicolon 
  \caption{An algorithm}
  \KwData{Some data}
  \Parameters{$a, b$}
  \KwResult{Result}
  \For{something or other}{
    This is some random text\;
    Some more text\;    
  }   
  More text here
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}

  • I need something to keep the lines justified as I have some long lines, how would one do that? Commented Oct 17, 2020 at 11:00
  • @PereGarauBurguera: If you have a long line, you can place it inside a [t]op-aligned \parbox of appropriate width (\linewidth minus the indentation) within which you can place the text (it should naturally be justified). Here is an example (output). Commented Oct 17, 2020 at 21:29
