Reversing heading markup

Would it be possible by changing some WikidPad-regexps to reverse the
markup of the headings?
IMHO the following (let's call it "reversed syntax") is superior the
(much more common) used in WikidPad. An example:
++++MAJOR HEADING
+++Heading 1
++minor heading 1
texttexttext
texttexttext
++minor heading 2
texttexttext
+++Heading 2
+++minor subheading of "Important Heading 2"
texttexttext
==Why is is superior?==
Imagine you have lots of "++"-headings in randomized order because you
just used them as titles for your notes about unrelated topics.
Now you want to introduce some higher structure. E. g. you want to
have a "private topics" and a "public topics" section.
With the above syntax you would only have to type:
+++private topics
+++public topics
and could begin to copy the "++"-headings with their paragraphs below
these headings.
With the current syntax you would have to type:
++private topics
++public topics
and change all subtopics to "+++"-headings.
This may sound like a minor annoyance... but with hundreds of
paragraphs and hundreds of changes back and forth in the structure
this gets very tedious. I used the reversed syntax in some wiki (I
forgot which one, it was a long time ago), but after getting used to
it, it was much better.
Does anybody (Michael?) see a way to do this?

Well, stupid me, that was easy enough. On first view this works good,
ask me if you are interested if I found problems later on.
Create WikiSyntax.py in your .WikidPadGlobals\user_extensions-
directory. (If you can't find it, you can also change it in C:\Program
Files\WikidPad\extensions\WikiSyntax.py , but that will be overwritten
on an WipidPad-update I think.)
Heading5RE = re.compile(ur"^\+{1}(?!\+) ?(?P<h5Content>" +
PlainCharacterPAT + ur"+?)\n",
re.DOTALL | re.UNICODE | re.MULTILINE)
Heading4RE = re.compile(ur"^\+{2}(?!\+) ?(?P<h4Content>" +
PlainCharacterPAT + ur"+?)\n",
re.DOTALL | re.UNICODE | re.MULTILINE)
Heading3RE = re.compile(ur"^\+{3}(?!\+) ?(?P<h3Content>" +
PlainCharacterPAT + ur"+?)\n",
re.DOTALL | re.UNICODE | re.MULTILINE)
Heading2RE = re.compile(ur"^\+{4}(?!\+) ?(?P<h2Content>" +

Oh sorry, I forgot, if you create a new M:\.WikidPadGlobals
\user_extensions\WikiSyntax.py, this needs to go in the beginning of
the file:
import locale
import string
import pwiki.srePersistent as re
from pwiki.StringOps import mbcsDec
\user_extensions\WikiSyntax.py, this needs to go in the beginning of

One remark:
For users who started to use WikidPad with one of the later 1.9betas on
Windows, the directory ".WikidPadGlobals" may be named "WikidPadGlobals"
without leading dot.

Making it a little bit better: This will prevent minor headings from
having a larger font size than major headings.
Create the file ".WikidPadGlobals\user_extensions\Presentation.py"
containing:
from wx import Platform
if Platform == '__WXMSW__':
faces = { 'times': 'Times New Roman',
'mono' : 'Courier New',
'helv' : 'Arial',
'other': 'Comic Sans MS',
'size' : 10,
'heading4': 10,
'heading3': 10,
'heading2': 10,
'heading1': 10
}
else:
faces = { 'times': 'Times',
'mono' : 'Courier',
'helv' : 'Helvetica',
'other': 'new century schoolbook',
'size' : 10,
'heading4': 10,
'heading3': 10,
'heading2': 10,
'heading1': 10
}
#--- Cut. End. Don't copy this line.
I tried to make major headings have a larger font size, but
unfortunately something like the following does not work,
'heading4': 14,
'heading3': 13,
'heading2': 12,
'heading1': 11
Trying to set font-sizes for headings above 4 with this also does NOT
work.
Any hints very welcome!

If you used the Python-script to convert to the reversed heading
syntax, you probably want to use
http://wikidpad.python-hosting.com/wiki/ChangeHeadingLevel
to lower the number of pluses as far es possible on many pages.
Everything is okay without it, but everything looks nicer with fewer
pluses. :)
