Typo3 V6: How to create a content element containe

Question

For a project I'm using Typo3 v6.0. I'm looking to create nested content elements, or a content element container. I want to be able to create an inline two-column layout without using a specific template for it. I'm looking to do this without the use of templavoila.

Extensions I have tried are gridelements, kb_nescefe, bs_fce, multicolumn but these do not work because they are not compatible with Typo3 V6.

I'm aiming for an end result like the attached image. Where the inline two-column content can be ommitted, used once or used multiple times, containing any other content element.

I'm looking for the most simple solution here. I prefer not having to invest a lot of learning time in a solution like flux and whatnot (http://fedext.net/ - looks cool, but also too timeconsuming for now)

Any ideas?

There is an startnext project where known bugs in grid_elements has been fixed. Afaik the next step is to make grid_elements compatible with TYPO3 6. But i guess, it will need a few weeks before they publish. But, perhaps they will start with Version 2 (which will compatible with TYPO3 6 these days...).

Have a look at the forge project.

You might want to take a look at the extension DCE (http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/dce); there you can define the content element yourself. Alternatively you can create literally anything with the http://fedext.net/ framework. Just read the latest blog posts to get an idea on how to create dynamic content elements with those extensions.
