I get this compiling error:

Incompatible types: got "TBytes" expected "AnsiString"
<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, /TbookmarkStr/ documentation example assigns
bookmark property to a TBookmarkStr variable

The type used for bookmarks changed over time.
<br>
<br>
You really must use TBookmark.
<br>
<br>
I have corrected the documentation, it seems the 2 types were
switched when
<br>
I corrected the documentation when the type actually changed.
Sorry about that :/

By the way, BytesOf documentation is also misleading

<br>
In what sense ?

The abstract is "Return the bytes in a string". Probably you can
blame my English, but I think it is ambiguous whether it must be
read as <br>
<br>
Return (the bytes (in a string)) <br>
or<br>
return (the bytes) -> (in a string)<br>
<br>
before reading the function declaration, I thought it was the second
case.<br>
<br>
better something like "Return the bytes OF a string in an array of
bytes TBytes" <br>
