 When you insert text you have to compile (F7) before you see the result.
+Text pages can be grouped in the Designer with a Widget Switcher. However, each text should have an Overlay as parent so they aren't all shown simultaneously.
+ -- WidgetSwitcher (master section, e.g. for "Main content")
+  +-- WidgetSwitcher (section, e.g. for powerup items)
+    +-- Overlay
+      +-- Text
+      +-- Image
+ -- WidgetSwitcher (master section)
+  +-- WidgetSwitcher (section, e.g. for powerup item hints)
+    +-- Overlay
+      +-- Text
+Direct children of '''W'''idget'''S'''witcher are retrieved by using the WS reference connected to a Get Num Widget node.
+It's possibly a good idea to count all sections during the construction event and save the results in an array via Make Array node.
+Variables that track active pages are destroyed as the widget is closed. If we want to resume reading after reopening a menu the variable values should have been copied to somewhere else. If we put them into character variable then we can easily restore those values even after a level loading.
