begin
// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
xml := TChilkatXml.Create(Self);

xml.Tag := 'aaa';

// A single tag can be passed to NewChild2, and this behaves as it always has:
xml.NewChild2('penguin','flightless bird');
xml.NewChild2('mammal','');
Memo1.Lines.Add(xml.GetXml());

// The output:

// 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// 	<aaa>
// 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
// 	    <mammal />
// 	</aaa>
// 
// Starting in v9.5.0.64, a tag path can be used.
// It will cause nodes to be automatically created as needed.
xml.NewChild2('red|green|blue','sky');
xml.NewChild2('mammal|rodent|squirrel','bushy tail');
Memo1.Lines.Add(xml.GetXml());

// The output:

// 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// 	<aaa>
// 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
// 	    <mammal>
// 	        <rodent>
// 	            <squirrel>bushy tail</squirrel>
// 	        </rodent>
