I am trying to debug my code and I keep running into the same problem so I would like to see what the command that causes the problem is giving to the compiler.

I have looked for this and I can't seem to find someone who asked this question.

So is there a command or environment that would treat the result of a function as verbatim like this? \verboutput{\mycommand}

  • In TeX \show\mycommand would write the definition of \mycommand to the terminal and the log. In LaTeX it would be better to use \ShowCommand\mycommand, because it also handles the different kinds of protected commands.

  • \texttt{\mycommand}, \typeout{\mycommand} or \showtokens\expandafter{\mycommand} or \typeout{\meaning\mycommand} etc. depends on what you mean. See also tools - How to best debug LaTeX? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange -- although it's true that a debugging guide is kind of missing. – user202729 May 28 '23 at 10:22
