Note that the guidelines are only required for the pull request to be merged automatically. However, it is strongly recommended to follow them, since otherwise the pull request needs to be manually reviewed and merged by a human.

After you have fixed the AutoMerge issues, simple retrigger Registrator, which will automatically update this pull request. You do not need to change the version number in your Project.toml file (unless of course the AutoMerge issue is that you skipped a version number, in which case you should change the version number).

If you do not want to fix the AutoMerge issues, please post a comment explaining why you would like this pull request to be manually merged.

Since you are registering a new package, please make sure that you have also read the package naming guidelines: https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/dev/creating-packages/#Package-naming-guidelines-1

Hi, I would like this PR to be manually merged since the package name already encapsulates all the information in a clear way. Additionally, it does not clash with any other package name and the only issue that seems to be present is that it is too short. If that is indeed the case, I can change it to Output.jl, although I am not sure why it would be necessary. Thanks!

Nice little package! I'm no decision maker on these things, but for what it's worth, I think the name is fine and support it.

If it's decided that this package name isn't acceptable for some reason, can I suggest the names "Showln.jl" and @showln? It's not a perfect name because the analogy between this and @show is not quite the same as the analogy between print and println. On the other hand, I think this is more faithful to the show function than @show itself is, so 🤷.

I've had a @showln in my startup.jl for a long time now that basically does this, and I'd be glad to replace it with a package. [noblock]

Thanks @MasonProtter. I will keep that in mind in case I finally need to change it :)

Maybe something like OutMacro would also work? Then it would be pretty obvious what using OutMacro at the top of some script is doing.

Thanks for the input @mcabbott .I still prefer just Out to be honest. Do packages that export macros in general include "Macro" in the name? If that is the general trend, I am happy to modify it.
