Done. The tables are larger, but more structured as infromation went from 
prose to computer readable fields. This makes it possible to:

- list valid values of an enum-like parameter

- display thumbnails to demonstrate the effect of enum-like and boolean 
parameters

- have a non-web footprint selector application (long term plan); it 
will be able to map valid options easily with the new syntax

As an additional benefit clicking the thumbnail brings you to the 
generator page set up with the same parameters used for the thumbnail.
