... I just modified this by commenting out each line that applied reverse_htmlentities() to one of the page content strings, and it fixed your page.
Indeed it did. I just had to remove the extra level of html escaping that the JavaScript outputted, and now the Design Wizard is working as well. (Before, the HTML code for the designed diagram it would show at the end showed an extralevel of escapes on the lt symbols starting the tags.)

The side bar for advertizements still has a rather adverse effect on the page, however. It runs over the entire height of the page, even though only the top 20% or so is filled with adds. So it just adds a lot of blank space, distorting the actual content by compressing it in the space that is left.

Is it really needed to make these side bars run along the entire article if there is no content to fill them anyway? I cannot imagine that I am the only one annoyed by part of my screen being wasted for blank space. E.g. the side bars could be put only beside the Introduction and Setup sections, so that the later sections can use the full width of the screen?

After the Design Wizard has run and displays its result, the article even starts to overlap the ads in the side bar. This might be a consequence of that the width actually changes by running the Design Wizard. Would it be possible to hide these side bars from the JavaScript of the Design Wizard when it needs more space (basically when the user activates it). E.g. by giving them an id so that their display attribute can be set to 'none'?
