This is the README file of the chickenize package. The package provides several commands and Lua functions to manipulate the input or output tokens of any Lua(La)TeX document. It serves mostly educational and playful usage, but some functions may be used in serious documents.

To produce the package files, run lualatex on chickinize.dtx, wich should result in the creation of the following files:
  chickenize.pdf  (documentation)
  chickenize.tex  (plainTeX user interface)
  chickenize.sty  (LaTeX user interface)
  chickenize.lua  (Lua package code) [does the actual work]

You need an up-to-date TeX Live (2015, if possible) to use this package. Maybe a full MiKTeX will will also work. (Not tested!)

For any comments or suggestions, contact me:
arno dot trautmann at gmx dot de

Hope you have fun with this package!

\textcolor{blue}{How to read this document.}

This is the documentation of the package |chickenize|. It allows manipulations of any Lua\TeX\ document\footnote{The code is based on pure Lua\TeX\ features, so don't even try to use it with any other \TeX\ flavour. The package is tested under  plain Lua\TeX\ and Lua\LaTeX. If you tried using it with Con\TeX t, please share your experience, I will gladly try to make it compatible!} exploiting the possibilities offered by the callbacks that influence line breaking (and some other stuff). Most of this package's content is just for fun and educational use, but there are also some functions that can be useful in a normal document.

The table on the next page shortly informs you about some of your possibilities and provides links to the (documented) Lua functions. The \TeX\ interface is presented \hyperlink{texinterface}{below}.

The documentation of this package is far from being well-readable, consistent or even complete. This is caused either by lack of time or priority. If you miss anything that should be documented or if you have suggestions on how to increase the readability of the descriptions, please let me know.

For a better understanding of what's going on in the code of this package, there is a small \hyperlink{tutorial}{tutorial} below that explains shortly the most important features used here.

\emph{Attention}: This package is under development and everything presented here might be subject to incompatible changes. If, by any reason, you decide to use this package for an important document, please make a local copy of the source code and use that. This package will not be considered stable until it reaches at least v0.5, which might never happen.

If you have any suggestions or comments, just drop me a mail, I’ll be happy to get any response! The latet source code is hosted on github: \url{https://github.com/alt/chickenize}. Feel free to comment or report bugs there, to fork, pull, etc.

\section{How It Works}
We make use of Lua\TeX s callbacks, especially the |pre_line|\-|break_filter| and the |post_line|\-|break_filter|. Hooking a function into these, we can nearly arbitrarily change the content of the document. If the changes should be on the input-side (e.~g. replacing words with |chicken|), one can use the |pre_linebreak_filter|. However, changes like inserting color are best made after the linebreak is finalized, so |post_linebreak_filter| is to be preferred for such things.

All functions traverse the node list of a paragraph and manipulate the nodes' properties (like |.font| or |.char|) or insert nodes (like color push/pop nodes) and return this changed node list.

\hypertarget{texinterface}{}
\section{Commands – How You Can Use It}
There are several ways to make use of the \emph{chickenize} package – you can either stay on the \TeX\ side or use the Lua functions directly. In fact, the \TeX\ macros are simple wrappers around the functions.

\subsection{\TeX\ Commands – Document Wide}
You have a number of commands at your hand, each of which does some manipulation of the input or output. In fact, the code is simple and straightforward, but be careful, especially when combining things. Apply features step by step so your brain won't be damaged …

The effect of the commands can be influenced, not with arguments, but only via the |\chickenizesetup| described \hyperlink{adjustment}{below}.

\begin{description}
\def\command#1{\item[\ttfamily \color{blue} \textbackslash#1]}
\command{allownumberincommands} Normally, you cannot use numbers as part of a control sequence (or, command) name. This makes perfect sense and is good as it is. However, just to raise awareness to this, we provide a command here that changes the chategory codes of numbers 0–9 to 11, i.\,e.~normal character. So they \emph{can} be used in command names. However, this will break many packages, so do \emph{not} expect anything to work! At least use it \emph{after} all packages are loaded.
\command{boustrophedon} Reverts every second line. This immitates archaic greek writings where one line was right-to-left, the next one left-to-right etc.\footnote{\url{en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon}} Interestingly, also every glyph was adaptet to the writing direction, so all glyphs are inverted in the right-to-left lines. Actually, there are two versions of this command that differ in their implementation: |\boustrophedon| rotates the whole line, while |\boustrophedonglyphs| changes the writing direction and reverses glyph-wise. The second one takes much more compilation time, but may be more reliable. A Rongorongo\footnote{\url{en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rongorongo}} similar style boustrophedon is available with |\boustrophedoninverse| or |\rongorongonize|, where subsequent lines are rotated by 180° instead of mirrored.
\command{countglyphs} \textcolor{blue}{\texttt{\textbackslash countwords}} Counts every printed character (or word, respectively) that appears in anything that is a paragraph. Which is quite everything, in fact, \emph{exept} math mode! The total number of glyphs/words will be printed at the end of the log file/console output. For glyphs, also the number of use for every letter is printed separately.
\command{chickenize} Replaces every word of the input with the word “chicken”. Maybe sometime the replacement will be made configurable, but up to now, it's only chicken. To be a bit less static, about every 10\textsuperscript{th} chicken is uppercase. However, the beginning of a sentence is not recognized automatically.\footnote{If you have a nice implementation idea, I'd love to include this!}
\command{colorstretch} Inspired by Paul Isambert's code, this command prints boxes instead of lines. The greyness of the first (left-hand) box corresponds to the badness of the line, i.\,e. it is a measure for how much the space between words has been extended to get proper paragraph justification. The second box on the right-hand side shows the amount of stretching/shrinking when font expansion is used. Together, the greyness of both boxes indicate how well the greyness is distributed over the typeset page.
\command{dubstepize} wub wub wub wub wub BROOOOOAR WOBBBWOBBWOBB BZZZRRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAA … (inspired by   \url{http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFQ5EpO7iHk} and \url{http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGxpSsbodnw})
\command{dubstepenize} synomym for |\dubstepize| as I am not sure what is the better name. Both macros are just a special case of |chickenize| with a very special “zoo” … there is no |\undubstepize| – once you go dubstep, you cannot go back …
\command{hammertime} STOP! —— Hammertime!
\command{leetspeak} Translates the input into 1337 speak. If you don't understand that, lern it, n00b.
\command{matrixize} Replaces every glyph by a binary representation of its ASCII value.
\command{medievalumlaut} Changes every lowercase umlaut into the corresponding vocale glyph with a small “e” glyph above it to show the origins of the german umlauts coming from ae, oe, ue. Text-variant may follow.
\command{nyanize} A synonym for |rainbowcolor|.
\command{randomerror} Just throws a random \TeX\ or \LaTeX\ error at a random time during the compilation. I have quite no idea what this could be used for.
\command{randomuclc} Changes every character of the input into its uppercase or lowercase variant. Well, guess what the “random” means …
\command{randomfonts} Changes the font randomly for every character. If no parameters are given, all fonts that have been loaded are used, especially including math fonts.
\command{randomcolor} Does what its name says.
\command{rainbowcolor} Instead of random colors, this command causes the text color to change gradually according to the colors of a rainbow. Do not mix this with |randomcolor|, as that doesn't make any sense.
\command{pancakenize} This is a dummy command that does nothing. However, every time you use it, you owe a pancake to the package author. You can either send it via mail or bring it to some (local) \TeX\ user's group meeting.
\command{substitutewords} You have to specify pairs of words by using |\addtosubstitutions{word1}{word2}|. Then call |\substitutewords| (or the other way round, doesn't matter) and each occurance of |word1| will be replaced by |word2|. You can add replacement pairs by repeated calls to |\addtosubstitutions|. Take care! This function works with the input stream directly, therefore it does \emph{not} work on text that is inserted by macros, but it \emph{will} work on macro names itself! This way, you may use it to change macros (or environments) at will. Bug or feature? I'm not sure right now …
\command{suppressonecharbreak} \TeX~normally does not suppress a linebreak after words with only one character (“I“, “a” etc.) This command suppresses line breaks. It is very similar to the code provided by the |impnattypo| package and based on the same ideas. However, the code in |chickenize| has been written before the author knew |impnattypo|, and the code differs a bit, might even be a bit faster. Well, test it!
\command{tabularasa} Takes every glyph out of the document and replaces it by empty space of the same width. That could be useful if you want to hide some part of a text or similar. The |\text|-version is most likely more useful.
\command{uppercasecolor} Makes every uppercase character in the input colored. At the moment, the color is randomized over the full rgb scale, but that will be adjustable once options are well implemented.
\command{variantjustification} For special document types, it might be mandatory to have a fixed interword space. If you still want to have a justified type area, there must be another kind of stretchable material – one version realized by this command is using wide variants of glyphs to fill the remaining space. As the glyph substitution takes place randomly, this does \emph{not} provide the optimum justification, as this would take up much computation power.
\end{description}

\subsection{How to Deactivate It}
Every command has a |\un|-version that deactivates it's functionality. So once you used |\chickenize|, it will chickenize the whole document up to |\unchickenize|. However, the paragraph in which |\unchickenize| appears, will \emph{not} be chickenized. The same is true for all other manipulations. Take care that you don't |\un|-anything bevor activating it, as this will result in an error.\footnote{Which is so far not catchable due to missing functionality in luatexbase.}

If you want to manipulate only a part of a paragraph, you will have to use the corresponding |\text|-version of the function, see below. However, feel free to set and unset every function at will at any place in your document.

\subsection{\texttt{\textbackslash text}-Versions}
The functions provided by this package might be much more useful if applied only to a short sequence of words or single words instead of the whole document or paragraph. Therefore, most of the above-mentioned commands have\footnote{If they don't have, I did miss that, sorry. Please inform me about such cases.} a |\text|-version that takes an argument. |\textrandomcolor{foo}| results in a colored |foo| while the rest of the document remains unaffected. However, to achieve this effect, still the whole node list has to be traversed. Thus, it may slow down the compilation of your document, even if you use |\textrandomcolor| only once. Fortunately, the effect is very small and mostly negligible.\footnote{On a 500 pages text-only \LaTeX\ document the dilation is on the order of 10\% with |textrandomcolor|, but other manipulations can take much more time. However, you are not supposed to make such long documents with |chickenize|!}

Please don't fool around by mixing a |\text|-version with the non-|\text|-version. If you feel like it and are not pleased with the result, it is up to \emph{you} to provide a stable and working solution.

\subsection{Lua functions}
As all features are implemented on the Lua side, you can use these functions independently. If you do so, please consult the corresponding subsections in the \hyperlink{sec:luamodule}{implementation} part, because there are some variables that can be adapted to your need.

You can use the following code inside a |\directlua| statement or in a |luacode| environment (or the corresponding thing in your format):
\begin{verbatim}
luatexbase.add_to_callback("pre_linebreak_filter",chickenize,"chickenize")
\end{verbatim}
Replace |pre| by |post| to register into the post linebreak filter. The second argument (here: |chickenize|) specifies the function name; the available functions are listed below. You can supply a label as you like in the third argument. The fourth and last argument, which is omitted in the example,  determines the order in which the functions in the callback are used. If you have no fancy stuff going on, you can safely use |1|.

\hypertarget{adjustment}{}
\section{Options – How to Adjust It}
There are several ways to change the behaviour of |chickenize| and its macros. Most of the options are Lua variables and can be set using |\chickenizesetup|. But be \emph{careful!} The argument of |\chickenizesetup| is passed  directly to Lua, therefore you are \emph{not} using a comma-separated key-value list, but uncorrelated Lua commands. The argument must have the syntax |{randomfontslower = 1| |randomfontsupper = 0}| instead of |{randomfontslower = 1,| |randomfontsupper = 0}|. Alright?

However, |\chickenizesetup| is a macro on the \TeX\ side meaning that you can use \emph{only} |%| as comment string. If you use |--|, all of the argument will be ignored as \TeX\ does not pass an eol to |\directlua|. If you don't understand that, just ignore it and go on as usual.

The following list tries to kind of keep track of the options and variables. There is no guarantee for completeness, and if you find something that is missing or doesn't work as described here, please inform me!

\def\arg#1{\textcolor{red}{\ttfamily <#1>}}
\def\opt#1{\textcolor{blue}{\ttfamily #1}}
\def\default#1{\textcolor{black}{\ttfamily #1}}
\begin{description}
\item[\opt{randomfontslower}, \opt{randomfontsupper} = \arg{int}] These two integer variables determine the span of fonts used for the font randomization. Just play around with them a bit to find out what they are doing.
\item[\opt{chickenstring} = \arg{table}] The string that is printed when using |\chickenize|. In fact, |chickenstring| is a table which allows for some more random action. To specify the default string, say |chickenstring[1] = 'chicken'|. For more than one animal, just step the index: |chickenstring[2] = 'rabbit'|. All existing table entries will be used randomly. Remember that we are dealing with Lua strings here, so use |' '| to mark them. (|" "| can cause problems with |babel|.)
\item[\opt{chickenizefraction} = \arg{float} \default{1}] Gives the fraction of words that get replaced by the |chickenstring|. The default means that every word is substituted. However, with a value of, say, |0.0001|, only one word in ten thousand will be |chickenstring|. |chickenizefraction| must be specified \emph{after} |\begin{document}|. No idea, why …
\item[\opt{chickencount} = \arg{true}] Activates the counting of substituted words and prints the number at the end of the terminal output.
\item[\opt{colorstretchnumbers} = \arg{true} \default{0}] If true, the amount of stretching or shrinking of each line is printed into the margin as a green, red or black number.
\item[\opt{chickenkernamount} = \arg{int}] The amount the kerning is set to when using |\kernmanipulate|.
\item[\opt{chickenkerninvert} = \arg{bool}] If set to true, the kerning is inverted (to be used with |\kernmanipulate|.
\item[\opt{leettable} = \arg{table}] From this table, the substitution for 1337 is taken. If you want to add or change an entry, you have to provide the unicode numbers of the characters, e.\,g. |leettable[101] = 50| replaces every |e| (|101|) with the number |3| (|50|).
\item[\opt{uclcratio} = \arg{float} \default{0.5}] Gives the fraction of uppercases to lowercases in the |\randomuclc| mode. A higher number (up to 1) gives more uppercase letters. Guess what a lower number does.
\item[\opt{randomcolor\_grey} = \arg{bool} \default{false}] For a printer-friendly version, this offers a grey scale instead of an rgb value for |\randomcolor|.
\item[\opt{rainbow\_step} = \arg{float} \default{0.005}] This indicates the relative change of color using the rainbow functionality. A value of |1| changes the color in one step from red to yellow, while a value of |0.005| takes 200 letters for the transition to be completed. Useful values are below |0.05|, but it depends on the amount of text. The longer the text and the lower the |step|, the nicer your rainbow will be.
\item[\opt{Rgb\_lower}, \opt{rGb\_upper} = \arg{int}] To specify the color space that is used for |\randomcolor|, you can specify six values, the upper and lower value for each color. The uppercase letter in the variable denotes the color, so |rGb_upper| gives the upper value for green etc. Possible values are between |1| and |254|. If you enter anything outside this range, your PDF will become invalid and break. For grey scale, use |grey_lower| and |grey_upper|, with values between |0| (black) and |1000| (white), included. Default is |0| to |900| to prevent white letters.
\item[\opt{keeptext} = \arg{bool} \default{false}] This is for the |\colorstretch| command. If set to |true|, the text of your document will be kept. This way, it is easier to identify bad lines and the reason for the badness.
\item[\opt{colorexpansion} = \arg{bool} \default{true}] If |true|, two bars are shown of which the second one denotes the font expansion. Only useful if font expansion is used. (You \emph{do} use font expansion, don’t you?)

\part[Tutorial]{Tutorial\hypertarget{tutorial}}
I thought it might be helpful to add a small tutorial to this package as it is mainly written with instructional purposes in mind. However, the following is \emph{not} intended as a comprehensive guide to Lua\TeX\. It's just to get an idea how things work here. For a deeper understanding of Lua\TeX\ you should consult both the Lua\TeX\ manual and some introduction into Lua proper like “Programming in Lua“. (See the section \hyperref[sec:literature]{Literature} at the end of the manual.)

\section{Lua code}
The crucial novelty in Lua\TeX\ is the first part of its name: The programming language Lua. One can use nearly any Lua code inside the commands |\directlua{}| or |\latelua{}|. This alleviates simple tasks like calculating a number and printing it, just as if it was entered by hand:
\begin{verbatim}
\directlua{
  a = 5*2
  tex.print(a)
}
\end{verbatim}
A number of additions to the Lua language renders it particularly suitable for \TeX ing, especially the |tex.| library that offers access to \TeX\ internals. In the simple example above, the function |tex.print()| inserts its argument into the \TeX\ input stream, so the result of the calcuation (10) is printed in the document.

Larger parts of Lua code should not be embedded in your \TeX\ code, but rather in a separate file. It can then be loaded using
\begin{verbatim}
\directlua{dofile("filename")}
\end{verbatim}

If you use Lua\LaTeX, you can also use the |luacode| environment from the eponymous package.

\section{callbacks}
While Lua code can be inserted using |\directlua| at any point in the input, a very powerful concept allows to change the way \TeX\ behaves: The \emph{callbacks}. A callback is a point where you can hook into \TeX's working and do anything to it that may make sense – or not. (Thus maybe breaking your document completely …)

Callbacks are employed at several stages of \TeX's work – e.\,g. for font loading, paragraph breaking, shipping out etc. In this package, we make heavy use of mostly two callbacks: The |pre_linebreak_filter| and the |post_linebreak| filter. These callbacks are called just before (or after, resp.) \TeX\ breaks a paragraph into lines. Normally, these callbacks are empty, so they are a great playground. In between these callbacks, the |linebreak_filter| takes care of \TeX's line breaking mechanism. We won't touch this as I have no idea of what's going on there ;)

\subsection{How to use a callback}
The normal way to use a callback is to “register” a function in it. This way, the function is called each time the callback is executed. Typically, the function takes a node list (see below) as an argument, does something with it, and returns it. So a basic use of the |post_linebreak_filter| would look like:

\begin{verbatim}
function my_new_filter(head)
  return head
end

callback.register("post_linebreak_filter",my_new_filter)
\end{verbatim}
The function |callback.register| takes the name of the callback and your new function. However, there are some reasons why we avoid this syntax here. Instead, we rely on the function |luatexbase.add_to_callback|. This is provided by the \LaTeX\ kernel table |luatexbase| which was initially a package by Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard and Élie Roux.\footnote{Since the late 2015 release of \LaTeX, the package has not to be loaded anymore since the functionality is absorbed by the kernel. Plain\TeX~users can load the |ltluatex| file which provides the needed functionality.} This function has a more extended syntax:
\begin{verbatim}
luatexbase.add_to_callback("post_linebreak_filter",my_new_filter,"a fancy new filter")
\end{verbatim}
The third argument is a name you can (have to) give to your function in the callback. That is necessary because the package also allows for removing functions from callbacks, and then you need a unique identifier for the function:
\begin{verbatim}
luatexbase.remove_from_callback("post_linebreak_filter","a fancy new filter")
\end{verbatim}

You have to consult the Lua\TeX\ manual to see what functionality a callback has when executed, what arguments it expects and what return values have to be given.

Everything I have written here is not the complete truth – please consult the Lua\TeX\ manual and the |luatexbase| section in the \LaTeX\ kernel documentation for details!

\section{Nodes}
Essentially everything that Lua\TeX\ deals with are nodes – letters, spaces, colors, rules etc. In this package, we make heavy use of different types of nodes, so an understanding of the concept is crucial for the functionality.

A node is an object that has different properties, depending on its type which is stored in its |.id| field. For example, a node of type |glyph| has |id| 27 (up to Lua\TeX~0.80., it was 37) has a number |.char| that represents its unicode codepoint, a |.font| entry that determines the font used for this glyph, a |.height|, |.depth| and |.width| etc.

Also, a node typically has a non-empty field |.next| and |.prev|. In a list, these point to the – guess it – next or previous node. Using this, one can walk over a list of nodes step by step and manipulate the list.

A more convenient way to adress each node of a list is the function |node.traverse(head)| which takes as first argument the first node of the list. However, often one wants to adress only a certain type of nodes in a list – e.\,g. all glyphs in a vertical list that also contains glue, rules etc. This is achieved by calling the function |node.traverse_id(GLYPH,head)|, with the first argument giving the respective id of the nodes.\footnote{GLYPH here stands for the id that the glyph node type has. This number can be achieved by calling |GLYPH = nodeid("glyph")| which will result in the correct number independent of the Lua\TeX~version. We will use this substitute throughout this docmuent.}

The following example removes all characters “e” from the input just before paragraph breaking. This might not make any sense, but it is a good example anyways:
\begin{verbatim}
function remove_e(head)
  for n in node.traverse_id(GLYPH,head) do
    if n.char == 101 then
      node.remove(head,n)
    end
  end
  return head
end

luatexbase.add_to_callback("pre_linebreak_filter",remove_e,"remove all letters e")
\end{verbatim}

Now, don't read on, but try out this code by yourself! Change the number of the character to be removed, try to play around a bit. Also, try to remove the spaces between words. Those are glue nodes – look up their id in the Lua\TeX\ manual! Then, you have to remove the |if n.char| condition on the third line of the listing, because glue nodes lack a |.char| field. If everything works, you should have an input consisting of only one long word. Congratulations!

The |pre_linebreak_filter| is especially easy because its argument (here called |head|) is just one horizontal list. For the |post_linebreak_filter|, one has to traverse a whole vertical stack of horizontal lists, vertical glue and other material. See some of the functions below to understand what is necessary in this more complicated case.

\section{Other things}
Lua is a very intuitive and simple language, but nonetheless powerful. Just two tips: use local variables if possible – your code will be much faster. For this reason we prefer synonyms like |nodetraverseid = node.traverse_id| instead of the original names.

Also, Lua is kind of built around tables. Everything is best done with tables!

The namespace of the chickenize package is \emph{not} consistent. Please don't take anything here as an example for good Lua coding, for good \TeX ing or even for good Lua\TeX ing. It's not. For high quality code check out the code written by Hans Hagen or other professionals. Once you understand the package at hand, you should be ready to go on and improve your knowledge. After that, you might come back and help me improve this package – I'm always happy for any help ☺

%\section{\TeX\ file}
% This file is more-or-less a dummy file to offer a nice interface for the functions. Basically, every macro registers a function of the same name in the corresponding callback. The |un|-macros later remove these functions. Where it makes sense, there are |text|-variants that activate the function only in a certain area of the text, by means of Lua\TeX's attributes.
%
% For (un)registering, we use the |luatexbase| \LaTeX\ kernel functionality. Then, the |.lua| file is loaded which does the actual work. Finally, the \TeX\ macros are defined as simple |\directlua| calls.
% 
% The Lua file is not found by using a simple |dofile("chickenize.lua")| call, but we have to use kpse's |find_file|.

% Changes the umlauts ä, ö, ü into a, o, u with an e as an accent. The exact position of the e is adapted for each glyph, but that is only tested with one font. Other fonts might f*ck up everything.
% 
% For this, we define node representing the e (which then is copied every time) and two nodes that shift the e to where it belongs by using pdf matrix-nodes. An additional kern node shifts the space that the e took back so that everything ends up in the right place. All this happens in the \verb|post_linebreak_filter| to enable normal hyphenation and line breaking. Well, \verb|pre_linebreak_filter| would also have done …

In this second step, the list of substitutions is just extended, and the real work is done by the function |substiuteword| which is registered in the |process_input_buffer| callback.

%
%The second box is only useful if microtypographic extensions are used, e.\,g. with the |microtype| package under \LaTeX. The box color then corresponds to the amount of font expansion in the line. This works great for demonstrating the positive effect of font expansion on the badness of a line!
%
% The base structure of the following code was provided by Paul Isambert. Thanks for the code and support, Paul!
% \subsubsection{colorstretch – preliminaries}

%    \end{macrocode}
% After these constants have been set, the function starts. It receives the vertical list of the typeset paragraph as |head|, and loops through all horizontal lists.
%
% If font expansion should be shown (|colorexpansion == true|), then the first glyph node is determined and its width compared with the width of the unexpanded glyph. This gives a measure for the expansion factor and is translated into a grey scale.
%    \begin{macrocode}

    end
%    \end{macrocode}
% Height and depth of the rules are adapted to print a closed grey pattern, so no white interspace is left.
%
% The glue order and sign can be obtained directly and are translated into a grey scale.
%    \begin{macrocode}

% Now we are ready with the boxes and stuff and everything. However, a very useful information might be the amount of stretching, not encoded as color, but the real value.

% That's it. Actually, the function is quite simple and should work out of the box. However, small columns will most probably not work as there typically is not much expandable stuff in a normal line of text.

% \subsection{zebranize}\label{sec:zebranize}
% This function is inspired by a discussion with the Heidelberg regular's table and will change the color of each paragraph linewise. Both the textcolor and background color are changed to create a true zebra like look. If you want to change or add colors, just change the values of |zebracolorarray[]| for the text colors and |zebracolorarray_bg[]| for the background. Do not mix with other color changing functions of this package, as that will turn out ugly or erroneous.
% 
% The code works just the same as every other thing here: insert color nodes, insert rules, and register the whole thing in |post_linebreak_filter|.

% Well, it's not the whole story so far. I plan to test some drawing using only Lua code, writing directly to the pdf file. This section will grow and get better in parallel to my understandings of what's going on. I.e. it will be very slowly … Nothing here is to be taken as good and/or correct LuaTeXing, and most code is plain ugly. However, it kind of works already {\XITS ☺}
% \section{Drawing}
% A \emph{very} first, experimental implementation of a drawing of a chicken. The parameters should be consistent, easy to change and that monster should look more like a cute chicken. However, it is chicken, it is Lua, so it belongs into this package. So far, all numbers and positions are hard coded, this will of course change!

% \section{Known Bugs}\label{bugs}
% The behaviour of the |\chickenize| macro is under construction and everything it does so far is considered a feature.
% \begin{description}
% \item[babel] Using |chickenize| with |babel| leads to a problem with the " (double quote) character, as it is made active: When using |\chickenizesetup| \emph{after} |\begin{document}|, you can \emph{not} use " for strings, but you have to use ' (single quote) instead. No problem really, but take care of this.
% \end{description}
% \section{To Do's}
% Some things that should be implemented but aren’t so far or are very poor at the moment:
% \begin{description}
% \item[traversing] Every function that is based on node traversing fails when boxes are involved – so far I have not implemented recursive calling of the functions. I list it here, as it is not really a bug – this package is meant to be as simple as possible!
% \item[countglyphs] should be extended to count anything the user wants to count
% \item[rainbowcolor] should be more flexible – the angle of the rainbow should be easily adjustable.
% \item[pancakenize] should do something funny.
% \item[chickenize] should differ between character and punctuation.
% \item[swing] swing dancing apes – that will be very hard, actually …
% \item[chickenmath] chickenization of math mode
% \end{description}
% \section{Literature}\label{sec:literature}
% The following list directs you to helpful literature that will help you to better understand the concepts used in this package and for in-depth explanation. Also, most of the code here is taken from or based on this literature, so it is also a list of references somehow:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Lua\TeX\ documentation – the manual and links to presentations and talks: \url{http://www.luatex.org/documentation.html}
% \item The Lua manual, for Lua 5.1: \url{http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/}
% \item Programming in Lua, 1\textsuperscript{st} edition, aiming at Lua 5.0, but still (largely) valid for 5.1: \url{http://www.lua.org/pil/}
%
%
% \end{itemize}
% \section{Thanks}
% This package would not have been possible without the help of many people who patiently answered my annoying questions on mailing lists and in personal mails. And of course not without the work of the Lua\TeX\ team!
% 
% Special thanks go to Paul “we could have chickenized the world” Isambert who contributed a lot of ideas, code and bug fixes and made much of the code executable at all. I also thank Philipp Gesang who gave me many advices on the Lua code – which I still didn't have time to correct …
