Comment #1 on issue 958 by pekka.klarck: For Loop - Cannot put inside a
resource file
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=958
Based on your error message it sounds like you have syntax error in your
for loop. Have you indented the keywords inside the loop? Notice that in
the plain text format that requires escaping the indented cell. That
documentation was just enhanced (issue 943):

If you believe you use correct syntax, please provide us a simple example
we can try in our system.
