Visual debugging for LuaTeX

The LuaTeX package lua-visual-debug shows boxes, glues, kerns and penalties in the PDF output.

Usage:

LaTeX:

\usepackage{lua-visual-debug}

or (plain)

\input lua-visual-debug.sty

Requirements: The package has only been tested with LuaTeX and the formats plain and LaTeX. Other formats might work as well, but other engines only show a warning message.
