I meant current Delphi examples.  Well, relatively current as I don't think the 
demos have been changed in quite some time, even with the unicode version that 
is available now.

Yeah for syntax.  In Delphi SynEdit there is TSynMultiSyn where you can use two 
different highlighters.  This is important since the editor will handle both XML 
and JavaScript within CDATA tag like Adobe's MXML and MS's WPF markup, XAML.
