ExTeX Debugger

Debugging is a nasty task in T_EX. What is missing is a modern debugger with all the possibilities we have in IDEs:

• Single-step the execution
• Set break points
• Watch expressions
• Inspect the internal state

εχT_EX is prepared for this task. Several points for obsering the internal machinery and intervening are provided. On the other side the framework of Eclipse is well prepared to develop a debugger. This can lead to a εχT_EX debugger with a graphical user interface.

On both sides the debugger can rely on well-defined interfaces. On the εχT_EX side requests for further functionality might be necessary. The debugger to be developed has to provide the glue code between the two worlds.
