You can have embedded images in an ImageBlock, so they can be cover pages or illustrations. You can't use them by themselves in a Header or on a Canvas yet.

Yes, I forgot the default source encoding was set to the windows character set. Is "utf-8" or "latin-1" a better default for non-Windows 8 bit strings?

For any real projects, you should probably set the encoding explicitly with Book(sourceencoding="<codec>"). See the russanbook.py example program for an example of this.

The code can be uploaded anywhere -- there are no restictions on it's use. But I only plan to maintain the latest version on the web page.
