I was not thinking about extensions for that and hope to be able to do it without. I already PMed Winston some weeks ago about extensions that I would like to use but he hasn't opened the message yet. Just like another one that has been unopened for months now...
Yep, I've requested parser extensions nearly two years ago. Winston answered at that time that he doesn't want to install extensions for several reasons. I can live without them and it's still a cool thing that he offers this service at all.

What makes them hard to use when cleaning up layouts is that they have their horizontal position hard-coded in them. This limits their use quite a bit from an aesthetics perspective.
When I've created the OXPLevel template I only thought about using it on the right side. In the middle of a text or lefthanded it simply doesn't make sense. But you are right and I was lazy - feel free to give users more options.

Honestly, I prefer more layout consistency across Wiki pages now over waiting for all authors to pick up
new templates...
I prefer a more consistent way as well, but editors have different approaches/preferences. I know that this means to put energy and time in sometimes fruitless discussions, but the Wiki is a collaborative tool.

Anyway - as nobody has requested to roll back - show us a little bit more .-)
