Menu system concept. - thoughts?

I've been doing alot of web design lately, and I was curious who would be interrested in a menu system that works like html. Seeing as HTML is easy for getting good results quicly with a little experience, I thought it might work well.

for a game?

you'd better work on a GUI system specialised for games, as HTML is just a markup language, nothing more.

I didn't even use a GUI. I created my own menu.

I've considered this as well. I was starting to write and htmlparser and display for blitz3d, but, didnt recieve much interest so I abandoned the project. This is the closest that I have come to using HTML for menus.

Wouldn't it be easier to use XML?

You could probably set it up so that it uses the HTML-tags - technically it would have to be xhtml, because you will have to close every tag (or use something like <br/> to have an empty tag).

Sounds like it may be SLOW!!!! Parsing is always slow.

It looks like slow. Especially with rendering in the background.

RaGR if you aren't going to say anything... :P (just a joke not a flame) Seriously someone named (I don't remember) wrote a little thing that I think is still in the code archives called WOMBAT MENU (since it starts with Wombat I am assuming he is from the UK or AUS or NZ...) Look it up. If you can't find it I will look for it I know I have a copy. It was called Pub Domain...
