Good suggestions from Ingo there -
I like the idea of having an expandable "more" link.
Also - whilst I appreciate the need to avoid clutter and overburdening nodes
with special information,
one nice aspect of having information in the nodes is that it helps the
reader actually recognise the sections from memory.
One really nice way to go to town on that idea would be for sections in the
book that have illustrations: perhaps a thumbnail of the illustration could
be imbedded in SVG?
(sorry, I am getting into the realms of ludicrous blue-skying now ;)

I honestly don't know even how to extract this information from text
(there are no hints such as xml tags), let alone drawing it tidily
around the graph node.
Let's ignore the unsolved problem concerning the extraction of the
information for the moment.
I don't think anything and everything needs to be presented directly in
the (initially displayed) graph. I think, initially, only basic
information about the sections should be shown.
A few ideas how to provide additional information:
* provide tooltips for nodes
* show the additional information in a "window" that is opened, e.g.
when clicking on a "More..." link in the node
* add the possibility to expand/collapse nodes, e.g. when clicking on a
"More..." link in the node or simply when clicking the node (but the
latter would be a hidden feature and thus isn't good usability)
Regards,
Ingo
