At the moment they are collected and added as simple text lines.
So each ancestor is separated by a new line character.

The hint that you see is an arbitrary control. By default it is a
TLabel. So no html possible. That's why it looks glued together. 
But I also started a html hint control using the tpipro
control.

The next step is to add some html markers and complete the tpipro
control.
Preferably we need a css.
