Hi Roland.

I've spent some time with Rexml.

The preface is that the Rexml tut page is feature packed.
http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/docs/tutorial.html

Most questions you will come across in your first months are answered
on this page. Amazingly.

Second tip is to make the xml 'doc' a 'Rexml doc' before you try any
Rex actions.

Nod to T-Rex soft tissue .... 'what could go wrong?'.
