First of all, big thanks to Anders Hattestad and all his great contributions to the community! Some months ago he posted a great post on how to use categories in a better way. I´ve taken his code and refined it a bit.

The indentation got lost somewhere in the newer versions of EPiServer. In older versions and in EPiServer 6 there is a spacer-gif (hello 1999). To fix it (not in a nice way) in EPiServer 5.2.375.236 just replace all the markup in /UI/Admin/Categories.aspx with this:
Lately I´ve been working a lot with migrating technical documents to EPiServer. These documents often contained
<font face="symbol">W</font>
instead of Ω.
So I made a function that converts symbols to unicode characters.
When inserting dynamic content into the editor it gets surrounded with a p-element if you're inserting it into a new paragraph.
Let's say our dynamic content Teasers renders a div-element as a wrapper, the page won't validate beacause it's not valid to have a div in a p.
We can easily fix this before the PageData gets persisted.

If you’re like me and don’t like the on-page-edit-right-click-menu but still want provide a simple shortcut for editors to edit the current page.
<a href="<%= CurrentPage.EditURL() %>">Edit this page</a>
public static string EditURL(this PageData page)
{
string baselink = UriSupport.AbsoluteUrlFromUIBySettings("edit/");
return string.Format(
"{0}SwitchLanguage.aspx?language={1}&epUrl={2}",
baselink,
page.LanguageBranch,
HttpUtility.UrlEncode(string.Concat(baselink, "default.aspx?id=", page.PageLink.ToString())));
}
Of course you have check access rights before rendering the link.
