Hi Andre,

yes, all this I found out (after some efforts ;). But it cost a lot of 
time to understand why the layout didn't work as it should.

So I would just like to now why the title_stdWrap is "empty" (i.e. I 
MUST set a tag in the HTML-template or by TS) while the subheader has 
some kind of a preset stdWrap.
Now I know that it is. But for a beginner this is really confusing. So I 
would just like to know if there is a special reason. Because if not, I 
would suggest to treat all markers the same way.

Thomas
