    ComfyUI will happily pass a string through fifteen nodes without ever showing you what's in it. This node is the fix: it renders whatever text you feed it right on the canvas, and passes that same text out the other side so you can keep building on it. Dead simple, and one of those utilities you don't realize you need until a workflow starts silently producing empty or malformed strings.

    The README calls the feature "Display Any - Text": display text from any source, and pass the input value through as an output so it can feed into things like the pack's ForLoop nodes. It's a debugging lens and a wiring convenience in one.

    How to use it

    Wire any STRING into the text input - a prompt, a filename, a decoded metadata dump, an LLM's output, anything. The node shows it in its body, and hands the identical value out of its single STRING output (it's marked as an output node, so ComfyUI treats it as a terminal, but the pass-through output means it doesn't have to be one in your graph).

    What you don't need to do: nothing. There are no settings to tune. One input, one output, one visible text block. The useful trick is putting these after transformations - a string-replace, a wildcard expansion, a loop's accumulator - to catch the moment something goes wrong rather than discovering it at the end of the pipeline.

    The other habit worth stealing: since it's a pass-through, you can keep it inline in a chain without adding a node to "final" outputs. People use it as a poor man's debugger in the same spirit as rgthree's display utilities - no magic, just visibility.

    Installing it

    cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
    git clone https://github.com/davask/ComfyUI-MarasIT-Nodes
    

    Restart ComfyUI, or Manager β†’ search "MaraScott" β†’ Install β†’ restart.

    Version note

    This class is the original "Display Info - Text" under the pack's old "MarasIT" name. The current pack ships the same node as MaraScottDisplayInfo_v2, named "Display Any" with the /i shortcut - if your workflow references this older class, it still resolves; if you're adding a fresh one from the node menu, you'll find the current name instead. Same behavior, same one-input-one-output shape.
