I’m getting too much stuff printing to the Julia shell and it’s annoying. I know there’s a Print command that prints to my editor (Pluto in this case), but I forget what package it’s in. Got a reminder? 😃

Sidenote: Pluto keeps saying to update, but absolutely refuses to. Tried it six times. It looks like iit’s updating, finishes with no error messages, but I have the same old version and get asked to update again on the next launch. Any ideas?

Did you try my suggestion here? [Pluto for Julia keeps wanting to update when I already did. Is this a bug? - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68594596/pluto-for-julia-keeps-wanting-to-update-when-i-already-did-is-this-a-bug)

If you start a regular Julia REPL and do

```julia
] st

```

what do you get?

`@which function(signature)` will tell you in what module and file a method is defined. But it’s not (iirc) the `print(x)` function that determines what Pluto shows. It’s `show(::IO, ::MIME"text/html", x)`.

`Print` is defined in `PlutoUI`. It’s effectively the same as `Text(...)` from Julia Base: [https://github.com/fonsp/PlutoUI.jl/blob/main/src/DisplayTricks.jl#L99](https://github.com/fonsp/PlutoUI.jl/blob/main/src/DisplayTricks.jl#L99).
