How does BoltWire know the height and width if they are not provided?
Does PHP have a way to scan the graphic file and generate these
numbers or something? It might be nice to fix this. I like pages that
load this way better.

I think for security purposes you need to be able to make sure you
don't allow any ../../ stuff in the path to make sure files can't be
included from other places on the server. Probably not a critical
issue, but it's good to take every precaution possible. I'm a bit
paranoid on the security issue. Well, at least that's the historical
reason behind this. Also, remember, some individuals might have php
files for download (uses same markups). If you are not careful you
might thus open BoltWire for someone to download a config file with
secure information in it or something. Just a caution. Though
admittedly I'm not a security expert.

It looks nice!

I think you can do images in links now like this:
[[page|img:file.gif]] or [[page|[^file.gif^]]]
The problem with the wiki-creole syntax is BoltWire's extensive use of
variables like this {id}. As these are processed before links
{{image}} would turn into {} after the {image} markup failed to find a
corresponding variable. In other words you will have to somehow work
around the existing variables markup in BoltWire. Not impossible, just
things to consider
Keep up the experimentation. Let me know what you come up with.
Cheers,
Dan
