Works fine, thank you! No more links to "main" :-)

There's a little typo, the col span has to be 3: [h cols=3]PAGE

I made two minor changes in that line:

        $out = "[t width=100%][r color=#f7f7f7][h cols=4]>>ZONE<<";

But the translation doesn't work (because of the markup processing
order, I suposse), so I translated directly, no problem. I removed the
page name because I think the table header is not the rigth place for
it, but the action.zones page; the user can write the page name, with
whatever text he likes, directly in action.zones before calling the
function, it's easier.

A too complex exception, I think.

The zones action is not supposed to be configurated by the average
user. I think PHP is enough by the moment. In fact there's not many
things to configure. Some CSS can be enough. I've seen "id" is not
allowed, but "class" is enough:

$out = "[t width=100% class=zonestable][r color=#f7f7f7][h
cols=3]ZONE";

I'm not a newbie in programming or web design and I found the zones
action very useful while building a site, a kind of quick menu to
access all elements of a page and edit them. I can imagine the zones
action is more than useful for people that are not used to web design;
without it they maybe get lost in the site admin pages. I think the
zones action is an important element in the BoltWire's way, and it
should not be a plugin.

Cheers,
