I'd certainly don't really WANT to adapt to the (like I said, worse in my opinion) Delphi version, but I would if I "had" to. So that's why I figured I'd check in to see what people's general thoughts are on all of this nowadays.<br>

I guess they aren't backticks in Delphi, rather they're "single colons", though, looking at it again, not that it matters that much. But yeah the docs say you need three of them on each side, and neither the opening or closing set can be directly followed by text on the same line. Which as you obviously know, isn't how my version works / worked.</div></div></div>
