A toggleable option in the editor to have items 'light up' or something on pages where they can be used might be cool and useful.

You could probably do this with a CSS highlight on the graphic or graphic border of the item.  I'll play around with it and see if that is viable.

I was wrong.  the inventory images are not specifically labelled enough to allow for that kind of selection via combinators.  At least I can't figure out how to make it work.  If only we could add an id or class tag to images.

I wouldn't think it would be much work to add a class="item" tag to the item image. the you can css it if you want, or not if you don't

Wouldn't the most braindead way to do it be to just use different items and swap them out when you reach the page they can be used? Like, have a greyed-out sword to sit in your inventory when you can't use it, with no script (so it says "Item cannot be used here" if you click on it) and then just use a different itemstate in the page script to swap to the colored-in version when you reach a page it can be used?

I suppose that would require a lot of pages with script, and careful thought. But the scripting itself would be stupid easy. Unless I missed something.
