Ah! That's what I was doing wrong, I hadn't spotted the 'View Source' button 
within the original page to get Wiki source, so I'd cut and pasted from the 
page itself, which seemed to preserved some of the formatting (source blocks 
and the index), but not others (sub-headers).

I've modified two further tutorial pages (Sections 3 and 3.3). The 3 pages 
in total were the only ones thrown up by a google search of the Wiki site 
for '200x150' or by a Wiki search for the same string.

Regards,
Chris B.
