XML documents are transformed by velocity - so you can read up on velocity if 
you like.  

As far as just doing something quick and dirty - you can basically copy and paste 
stuff that's already there and modify the words for what you need.  You can also 
write straight HTML (in an XML compatible way) and it will get transformed ok.

The component reference page has lots of big, wide images that make resizing to 
a smaller size not work well.
