-  <p>This simulation shows how to solve an elliptic equation.  The
-  source term and boundary conditions are specified via grid
-  functions, in this case provided by the CT_Analytic thorn.  Fixed
-  mesh refinement concentrates points in the neighbourhood of the
-  Gaussians, and a multigrid algorithm is used to solve the Poisson
-  equation.  The plots below show the converged solution, and the norm
-  of the solution error as a function of time.</p>
+  <p>This example shows how to solve the Poisson equation with a generic
+  source term. To assess the performance of the algorithm, we start by
+  prescribing a solution phi0 (in this case, a superposition of Gaussian
+  functions), and construct the source term by taking the Laplacian of
+  phi0. The plots show the final solution phi (color plot), the source term
+  (white contour surfaces) and the solution error phi-phi0 as a function
+  of the iteration number.</p>
