Ok cool, I'll see about adding some of this stuff soon.

Heh! What would you say if I told you it's already been done? ;) I  
was actually going to do that for something I was working on but the  
project never got finished. Pretty fun to see it go out to the web  
and grab stuff though.

That might be another nice package in Tiki -- networking  
abstractions. Especially in Win32 where you have to do some crazy  
stuff with WinSock.

Anyway, the manual viewer does actually use power of 2 textures. It  
just lets you specify how big they are on screen. The manual source  
syntax is based on TeX (which I discovered is very easy to parse :).  
Here's an example:

\just{center}\ps{32}\color{white}About Cryptic Allusion

\imagelink{0 128 256 dan}
\imagelink{1 216 256 roddy}
\imagelink{2 256 256 ca alpha}
\image{2}

\just{full}\ps{18}\color{gray}
Cryptic Allusion (CA for short) was originally conceived almost ten  
years
...

The app that builds all that stuff is just a C++ cmdline tool that  
takes your source file, any TXFs you're using, images, etc, justifies  
and formats everything, and basically builds a display list for the  
browser to use at runtime.

I've always been a bit of a compiler geek so that was fun to write ;)
