Add example rule for using imported payee contains (#293)
The question of not having contains under payee in rules gets asked a lot. I added an example for it. I also changed the name of that page to "Rules Examples" to be more clear on what it is.

### Q: How do I set the payee when the payee name changes between transactions
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** Sometimes the payee shows up slightly differently from transaction to transaction. To set the same payee every time and not create a new one every time a new transaction is imported, use a **Pre** rule that reads the imported payee field and finds the merchant name using a "contains" condition.

### Q: How do I set a default account when I add transactions?
|
||||
|
||||
**A:** Set a **Pre** rule to check for an empty account field. When entering a transaction in the "All Accounts" ledger or from the ledger of a Category listing, your preferred default account will be auto filled.
