A glue node points to a glue_spec node that contains the real stuff; I
*think* that that akward interface will disappear one day and glue
nodes will contain their own information. Meanwhile:
local gluenode = node.new(node.id("glue"))
local gluespec = node.new(node.id("glue_spec"))
gluespec.width = tex.sp("0.03em")
gluenode.spec = gluespec
Best,
