How to create a dynamic Navigation Table

Hi,

trying to create an easy navigation bar for a web comic.

http://www.madguru.com/comics/ie_english_1

I am trying to figure out a few things related to this. My thought is to create a table with previous page, next page and language links.

1. Reusing table code.
I would like to define the table in one place and then embed it on each page of the comic. This way, if I change the look, I can do so in one spot.

2. How to put different links in each table?
So each page has the table on it, but then needs navigation and language buttons which are the same, except for the links they point to. Previous Page and Next Page are based on the current page. Language buttons should take you to the corresponding page in that language.

Each page uses a pretty simple naming convention, that could be conducive to getting code to swap out the page number in the string, but I am not familiar enough with wp to know where to look for ways to do that.

3. It would be nice if when the page is clicked on and shown at full size, if previous and next page links could exist on there too.

Any thoughts as to what types of things I should look up to make this possible or alternate methods would be appreciated.

Thanks!
