Thanks Hans.
Sure, I've been doing this to generate the GraphViz
diagrams etc plus hooking into various callbacks etc.
What I don't yet quite understand is the correct navigation or
link path to follow through the node structures and the best way to
access or calculate glue (set) values for things like skip between words.
that is just a multiplication factor; for the precise dealing of it you
might want to look into the backend code (take the dvi related code at
that is rather simple and discussed in the tex the program book as well;
it might look more complex due to hz and protruding)
All this reflects my currently hazy understanding of the
liks + connections in the node graph.
For example, see the attached PDF of the graph arising from
a saimple example:
\setbox0\vbox{Hello to Lua\TeX\ and another \vbox {here}}
Even with this simple example the node traversal
to render in the right order seems quite complex.
in general you loop recursively, i.e. in a typeset box you need to
follow the list in hlist/vlist nodes; in backend related operations you
also might need to go into the leader part of a rule
of course whatsits are sort if special as they can represent anything
it all depends on what you want to do but
