 <tt>\typeout{msg}</tt>
<p>
 Prints <tt>msg</tt> on the terminal and in the log file.  Commands in 
 <tt>msg</tt> that are defined with <a href="ltx-18.html"><tt>\newcommand</tt>  
 or <tt>\renewcommand</tt></a>  are replaced  by their
 definitions before being printed.
<p>
 LaTeX's usual rules for treating multiple spaces as a single space and
 ignoring  spaces after a command  name apply to <tt>msg</tt>.  
 A <a href="ltx-431.html"<tt>\&lt;space&gt;</tt></a> command
 in <tt>msg</tt> causes a single space to be printed.
