 * For styling issues I have to hardcode the open/close link. I have an additional
   close link at the end of the layer, too. I have learned, that however it would
   not work without the shortcode. So I have put the shortcode without text (not
   visible).
 *     ```
       <a href="#" onclick="showhide_toggle('teil3', 972, 'Kapitel 15 - 20 schliessen', 'Kapitel 15 - 20 zeigen'); return false;"><span id="teil3-toggle-972">Kapitel 15 - 20 zeigen</span></a>[/feature_left]
   
       [/features][showhide type="teil3" more_text="" less_text=""]
       ```
   
 * I have 3 different layers on the page working fine.
 * But if I have to change content on that page, it happens that the ID of the layer
   is changing – usually from 972 to 938 or viceversa – so my toggle won´t work 
   and I have to change all my links again.
 * Any ideas how I can avoid this?
