Yes. You can make the subpages, move the content, and the redirect the original
page to the new sub-page. Be aware, however, you can only have one level of
sub-pages. If you want the original page removed, I will probably have to do
that. Just send me a heads up and I will take care of it.

going to look.

In the "preferences" (top right of every page) you can set your preferred size
for the editing window. You can set both the width and the height to give you
what amounts to "full screen editing".

If you have some pre-canned "body content" html you should be able to cut and
paste it directly into the Wiki. Surround the html with <html> ... </html> and
it will be rendered directly.

I haven't tried this, but there is a Wiki mode for emacs (is there anything
emacs DOESN'T have a mode for?). See
