Dear list,

It seems as if the pre_output_filter only gives you the nodes in the
body block but without the \headline and \footline.  I would have
expected that those are included because \plainoutput performs

     \shipout\vbox{\makeheadline\pagebody\makefootline}

and I would have expected to get the vlist defined by the above \vbox
inside the callback.  Am I doing it wrong or am I using the wrong
callback?
you can for instance use vpack_filter

But how do I detect whether what is being packed is the main vertical
list?  According the manual `groupcode` should be <empty> for the main
vertical list but that just never happens.  With the following MWE

      \directlua{
      callback.register("vpack_filter",
                        function(head,groupcode)
                            print('"' .. groupcode .. '"')
                            return head
                        end)
      }

      Hello World!

      \bye

build_page_filter

Sorry for being such a pain in the neck :(

How can I access the material to be pushed from within this callback?
Box 255 (the shipout box) is nil.  The reason I am asking this is
because I want to implement visual debugging like in ConTeXt.  Therefore
I want to walk the main vertical list on shipout and sprinkle it with
whatits to draw rules for boxes, glues, kerns, etc.

\directlua{
callback.register("buildpage_filter",
                   function() print(tex.box[255]) end)
}

Hello World!
just hook code into the shipout routine at the tex end: take the box, pass it to soem lua code and walk over its content (there is no shipout callback - as it's not needed)
