\typeout{
msg}
\typeout{msg}
Prints msg
on the terminal and in the log
file.
Commands in msg
that are defined with \newcommand
or
\renewcommand
(among others) are replaced by their definitions
before being printed.
LaTeX's usual rules for treating multiple spaces as a single space
and ignoring spaces after a command name apply to msg
. A
\space
command in msg
causes a single space to be
printed, independent of surrounding spaces. A ^^J
in
msg
prints a newline.
