[comp.text.tex] TeX/LaTeX debugger?

lac@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Les Carr) (09/11/90)

Bitten by Amy Hendrickson's article on TeX macro writing techniques
in the latest TUGboat (11.3), it occurred to me that it would be
very useful to have something like a debug.sty for LaTeX (or similar
for TeX) that would allow me to see the contents of all the `variables'
at any given part of the document elaboration. It would also allow
`breakpoints' to be set (and so on.)

Does such a beast exist? I'm afraid I don't have a complete set
of TUGboats to browse through, so I'm braving the net. If anyone can
point me at Beebe's set of bibtex'ed TUGboat listings i'd be grateful too.

Thanks!
