[1] You need to learn CSS2 if this is not already the case. We always 
recommend *not* to read the W3C spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2) but 
instead to buy a good book about the subject.

[2] Take the time to read "XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and 
Deployment" 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/index.html

Suffice to read the two first chapters:
1. Introduction
2. Writing a configuration file for XXE

This is really needed in order to understand how XXE works. The rest of 
this document is a reference you can use later.

[3] The most important part of the configuration you are going to write 
is a CSS style sheet. This will take 95% of the time needed to write a 
first version of the configuration.

You'll have to write standard CSS2, but XXE has some restrictions. You 
need to learn about them.

Please read "Support of Cascading Style Sheets (W3C CSS)" 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/csssupport/index.html

Once again, suffice to read the two first chapters:
1. Introduction
2. Restrictions

The rest of this document is a reference you can use later.
