TW is just a web page powered by Javascript. Out of the box, it can't save to a website. So you can load it to your site just like any other web page. Someone could of course modify their own version, but that wouldn't save back to your site.
Even linear things, like books, are broken into pages and chapters and sections. So nothing is really linear ;-) Having the ability to search can be a very useful thing with an instruction manual. If it was me, I'd try writing a chapter to see how hard it is and whether you like the results. TW5 does tend to keep you at arm's length from Javascript. You, or somebody who was interested, would have to find some way to wrap the library in a javascript macro or widget. How hard that is depends at least partly on they've written the library. In this day of cheap server space, I'm wondering what the point of more compression is ? Most compression routines I've seen that promise better compression than some existing tech end up only being a few percent better.
