For the Wiki, I'd say: do whatever looks good. This is not my manor. For the printed book, any graphics (including tables) which are not code, or the actual output of the said code, I'll carry over from the First Edition. Unless they need changing as a result of the code update. Then I'll attempt to edit them in-place. What I don't plan to do (at this point in time) is a bulk reload of the papers, relying on automatic mechanisms for the final format of things like tables. I plan just to use the Wiki pages to correct the J code which I already have in the .DOC (and finesse any consequences). That said, every case will be judged on its merits. The APWJ series as Gene submitted it was anything but standardised, taking place over a number of years as it did. Ditto the typesetting, which (as people will have gathered by now) was done by accomplished typesetters who had no experience of using J in practice. Ditto MSWord. In Edition 1 I've imposed a wholly contrived standardisation throughout. Gene was extremely inventive in the tables he submitted -- and the typesetters were equally as inventive in portraying them. As a separate issue, we're trying to get in the happy position where future books like this can be (semi-) automatically generated from Wiki pages. This exercise serves as grist for the mills. I will indeed try to rebuild APWJ automatically from the Wiki, in tribute to your good work, if nothing else. I may even print a copy for reference. I just can't promise it will be the version that gets published. Hope all this helps, and doesn't confuse.
