No you are not missing the obvious. Xara packaged the HiSlide JS viewer (http://highslide.com/) but constrained it in lots of quirky ways.

You have three routes:
  1. Learn/use simple HTML to add a long formatted text string into the Pop-up Title & Image Caption boxes.It is possible to add a couple of lines, links and a button.
  2. Play around with HiSlide API and parameters.
  3. Rethink and use Layers instead.


Hislide Gallery.xar is really a bad mash-up of ideas I've explored this morning.

Don't buy anything else for the moment; you have a lot of exploring to get through yet.
