MD is using a new fully managed editor called Mono.TextEditor. You can
find it in the MD source.

Autocompletion is much more complex, and we have significant
infrastructure in MD for it, independent of the text editor.

You need to look up and assign a SourceLanguage, and set
HighlightSyntax to true on the buffer. You can find a simple example
of usage here: http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/gtksourceview2-sharp/sample/SourceViewTest.cs?view=markup
