If I recall correctly, Hàn Thế Thành added these primitives to XeTeX;
therefore he knows them best.

I have for some time been trying to get to the bottom of the mysterious
new primitives in XeTeX that include \XeTeXprotrudechars, \rpcode, etc.
The only documentation of these is a brief e-mail from JK dated

Fine, many thanks Jonathan; will do.

IIRC, hyperlinks are handled entirely at the pdf output driver level;
there are no xetex primitives involved. It's just a question of

Dear Philip,
I found Corresponding ones in pdfTeX in the pdfTeX manual:
\pdfprotrudechars (integer)
Yet another way of optimizing paragraph breaking is to let certain characters
move into the margin (‘character protrusion’). When \pdfprotrudechars=1,
the glyphs qualified as such will make this

Hi Phil,
Have you ever tried
\input miniltx.tex
This then allows a subset of LaTeX structural commands and internals to be used
without the documentclass stuff — which is what I think you detest most.
Now many LaTeX packages can be loaded and used, without problems, in what are
otherwise
