For further information and actual details, you can just look at the luatex source (it is in C): https://github.com/TeX-Live/luatex/blob/trunk/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/maincontrol.c The function void main_co

I've read the following is not possible in TeX \def#1\macro{blabla#1} where arguments come before. The only partial exceptions are commands like \atop or \over, which are in fact primitives. Is there a way to do this in ConTeXt? Could it be a feature request for LuaMetaTeX? I've seen Hans
