Abstract: By redefining some TeX primitives, one can get an impression of what TeX and macros are doing behind the screens. This article visualizes some rather common but often unnoticed TeX features. The visual debugger described here is part of ConTeXt, but can be used in plain TeX and other macro packages as well.
