I haven't built a new release of mwlib.rl so you have to install from
source or wait a couple of days. Installing from source is not
difficult, you need to install mercurial (version control software) and
check out the source. Instructions can be found at
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki/mwlib-install (note: instructions
are for mwlib -> installing mwlib.rl pretty much only requires to
replace mwlib by mwlib.rl)

I forgot to mention that an unpleasant surprise is waiting for you
there. The coloring in your examples was not handled correctly by
mwlib.rl. Coloring multiple paragraphs with a solid background color is
not possible right now.
I fear currently the only solution with which you will be able to
achieve what you want is to use tables. I know it's ugly by I don't have
a better idea currently. You also have to make sure that the table has
more than just a single column b/c these tables are removed (content is
kept).

Ok, this makes sense.
