\StartSteps
\startsubject[title=How it started]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem Some 15 years ago I wanted some more feedback. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem So I figured out a way to visualize boxes, kerns, glue, etc. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Some aspects were tricky, like stretch and shrink (no \ETEX\ yet), fillers, leaders, etc. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem I gave some presentations and it was nice to see the puzzled faces. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem As unboxing does not work, it is somewhat interfering. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem When not enabed there is no overhead but we did disable it at some places. \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\startsubject[title=Do we need it]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem I wonder if anyone ever used it. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Some of the helpers are quite handy, like \type {\ruledhbox}. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem So these had to be provided anyway, so: where to stop? \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\StopSteps \page \StartSteps
\startsubject[title=All kind of debugging]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem We have more debugging, much shows up when writing new code. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Think of fonts, math, graphics, characters, etc. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Some make no sense in \MKIV, so they're gone, but new ones show up. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem In due time this will all be normalized (as most lives in modules). \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\StopSteps \page \StartSteps
\startsubject[title=Why we kept it]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem When cleaning up the code I had to decide to keep it or redo it as it could be done \MKIV-ish. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem But as we already had some \LUA\ based extras it made sense to redo it. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem The old code is still there as module (also because it had some more funstuff). \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\startsubject[title=How it worked]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem In \MKII\ primitives are overloaded. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem So effectively, when enabled, \type {\hbox} cum suis become macros. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem We use rules (and leaders) to visualize properties. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Some constructs interfere so we need to compensate side effects. \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\StopSteps \page \StartSteps
\startsubject[title=How it works]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem The basics were a rather trivial quick job as we had a lot in place already. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Interpreting the node list and injecting visualizers. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem We use colors, rules and text but much can be overlayed. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Control over what gets visualized at the \TEX\ end. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Control over what gets shown by using layers. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem As usual most time went into visualization choices and optimzation. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Some visualizers interfered with (hardcoded) expectations in the backend. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem When I decided to use layers I had to adapt some oter code (mostly out of efficiency). \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem There is room for more (but first I want the bitlib of \LUA\ 5.2). \stopitem \FlushStep
