For Loop

The document describes the \forloop and \forLoop commands. \forloop is the preferred command and defines a for loop that iterates through a range of numbers, performing code on each iteration. It takes 5 arguments - the step, counter name, initial value, condition, and code. \forLoop is deprecated and defines a similar for loop but takes the start, stop, counter name, and code as arguments.
