There is this macro: <http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/macro/CardMacro> that  
does most of what you want. Moin does allow to include HTML _if_ the  
parser is enabled, which it is not for security reasons.

There is a version for Moin 1.3 and if Robert could install it, we could  
take care of the rest.
There are also Macros called Color and Color2 but they either work for 1.0  
or 1.5, AFAICT.

We will have to find out, if the CardMacro works well with WikiDocs, or if  
something breaks (IIRC Robert patched the Include Macro in our wiki).

Yes, that's what I mean, and yes, your criticism might be valid. Although  
we will have to find out which of these two ways is easier to do.
