Text Formatting ⇒ Displaying the content of a variable or length

[mike1]

Hi All,

How can I display on screen the content (value) of variable or length I've defined?.

For example:
\newlength{\mylength}
\settowidth{\mylength}{\textwidth}

so I want to see what's in \mylength. Does latex also print the units of a length?.

Thanks,
Mike.

With a TeX primitive.

Code: Select all

\the\mylength

So it it seems that you can mark the topic accordingly. In this case I did that for you.
