[wiki] PAE page: formatting and flavor-agnosticism

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I like it.  It looks attractive.

Good luck in your exam tomorrow!  Don't worry about us until after you've
celebrated after it's over!! :))  We will still be here, don't worry :)  Do
you have more exams soon?

Images near the top are attractive but it's a balance between having the
short, "one liner" type answer above or below it.  I think power-users
might appreciate having a very short nudge in the right direction without
having to follow through all the steps the rest of us might need.  Having
sub-pages is good if there is a lot of content.  I'm assuming this is more
of a "mock-up" rather than a finished result but it looks great to me :))

Regards from
Tom :)
