** [[Callbacks]] introduces callbacks and how to use them.
 
** There is a page on the [[Post linebreak filter|<tt>post_linebreak_filter</tt>]] callback, explaining and illustrating it with a couple of examples. The [[Show the hyphenation points]] article is another example of use.
 
** The page on [[process input buffer|the <tt>process_input_buffer</tt> callback]] illustrates how to read documents with non-UTF-8 encoding, and how to write TeX with lightweight markup instead of the usual commands.
 
** Another callback is [[show error hook|<tt>show_error_hook</tt>]], which lets you enliven your error messages!
 
** You can fake XeTeX's interchar tokens with the [[token filter|<tt>token_filter</tt>]].
 
* [[TeX without TeX]] is about using TeX's functionality (typesetting, pdf writing) only using Lua code (no <tt>\TeX</tt> macros).
