Is there a *complete* tutorial anywhere, how to use the new parser 
structure? E.g. with syntax coloring, formatting, code folding, embedded 
languages, hyperlinking, hinting? Probably using text/xml multiview? 
Using "hidden" files (like java form files)?

If You're asking for all these things separately on any mailing list, 
APIs will have changed significantly in the meantime, so You can start 
from the beginning.

So, there must be some difference between your perspective and mine -- would like clarity from you as to what is missing and/or incomplete.
