Hello.

When using Juno how can I control where the output of a command is produced?  
Some commands such as 1+1 produce an output on the right side of the line on the main document,inlined.  
Some other output the result only on the REPL, for example versioninfo().

How can I force Juno to change it?  
For example I want the result of 1+1 (executed at the main document) on the REPL, and I want the result ot versioninfo() (executed on the main document) on the main document.

The difference you’re seeing is between printing results to `stdout` (which is what e.g. `versioninfo()` does), and returning a result (which is what `1+1` does).

You can change how results are shown via the “Result Display Mode” option:

 ![setting](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/c/4/c481759f78ed1996889a16351b87b152a6ca4d81.png)

You can also print to a string with `sprint` and return that like so (the `Text` is just so it’s shown a bit nicer):

OK, thanks.

Is there any command or macro that let you change the display mode of an specific line without going to the settings page?

`@show` will always print to `stdout`, regardless of where results are displayed.

Where do I find this tab in juno?

Either like this:

or by typing “Julia Settings” into the command palette or by pressing `Ctrl-J Ctr-,` or by going to Settings \> Packages \> julia-client.

One question.  
if I want to hide the output of a line, I put semicolon at the end of a line in Julia REPL or Jupyter notebook. This doesnot seem to work in Juno. Any workaround?

It does:

Again, this is the difference between printing to stdout and displaying a returned object. Same goes for the REPL:

```julia
julia> 1+1
2

julia> 1+1;

julia> print(1+1);
2

```

I get it. This happens only when the Result Display Mode is next to code and not otherwise.

Ok, there was a bug with the “Display results in the console” mode that caused the result to be displayed always (which is what you were getting at, I guess). Should be fixed with [this commit](https://github.com/JunoLab/Atom.jl/commit/f9bbf246bdc1764a69c6fe6357eeddb1e1dbe41d).

Maybe I am looking at the wrong place. Could you let me know where you find the “Result Display Mode” option?

Go to `Settings` \> `Packages` \> `julia-client` \> `UI Options`:
