-- we also need to call the spacer for inserts!

-- this code dates from the beginning and is kind of experimental; it
-- will be optimized and improved soon
--
-- the collapser will be redone with user nodes; also, we might get make
-- parskip into an attribute and appy it explicitly thereby getting rid
-- of automated injections; eventually i want to get rid of the currently
-- still needed tex -> lua -> tex > lua chain (needed because we can have
-- expandable settings at the tex end

-- todo: strip baselineskip around display math
