Ian, thanks to Oleg's _great_ suggestion I replaced bold italics within arrays by underlining.
This preserves Eugene's intention, is easy to see online and in print, and with monospacing
(session metaphor) works better across browsers (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer tested). /Kip

These are notes for Ian about my editing of Play172 Someone Just Moved!
Who Was It?
"Typesetting" is an important issue, because Eugene uses bold face in
_parts_ of arrays for pedagogical reasons. He also in one paragraph
without comment makes a meaningful distinction between monospace 2 and
ordinary face 2 . My source for his use of typesetting is the pdf
version of the article from the zip mentioned in Chris's Overview of the
editing project.
I therefore worked hard using MoinMoin formatting (sorry) to make the
wiki article "typesetting" match that of the pdf article, even though
in-text monospace (achieved with `...`) looks too short in the online
article. If you ask for the print version, that looks OK, as does a
printout from the print version.
I changed Eugene's use of bold face within arrays to bold italic,
because that is easier to see online and in print. Boldface within
arrays was very hard to distinguish in the pdf version.
There were minor corrections to the wiki text and one major correction,
namely two arrays were switched, and I switched them back. An example
of a minor correction was replacing the word "ten" by monospace x (left
argument). In two triangular tables rather then use bold face for
column and row headings I separated them from the body by "Ascii Box
Characters" |+- .
I expect it will be a challenge to get the article right for the book
from the wiki page, which is now as correct as I can make it.
