Implementing indent in algorithm environment

Question

I am using the algorithm environment in the algorithm2e package. What I want is to able to indent various portions. I tried \indent but that is doing me no good. Here is the MWE:

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{algorithm2e}
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\SetAlgoLined

\KwData{Executor class}
\KwResult{Executes Main.java} 

    \indent \textbf{Begin} Executor class

    \indent call Main

    \indent \textbf{End} Executor class

\end{algorithm}

\end{document}

You can use \Indp (the reverse effect can be achieved with \Indm):

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{algorithm2e}

\begin{document}

\begin{algorithm}[H]
\SetAlgoLined
\KwData{Executor class}
\KwResult{Executes Main.java} 
\Indp\textbf{Begin} Executor class \\
call Main \\
\textbf{End} Executor class
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Perhaps you should consider defining some structure to avoid manually writing \textbf{Begin}, \textbf{End}.

It's working perfectly! Thanks a ton. Should I be setting up some sort of macro for \textbf{Begin}? – Jeel Shah Apr 23 '13 at 00:58

@gekkostate yes. Perhaps one of the built-in mechanisms that the package offers for defining structures could help you. – Gonzalo Medina Apr 23 '13 at 02:12
