== DESCRIPTION

An XML markup language for generating Tk user-interfaces. It was inspired
by GTK's glade format. The TkXML format defines a very simple one-to-one
correlation to the Ruby Tk API.


== SYNOPSIS

Here's an +example.xml+ TkXML file:

  <Tk:Root name="test" title="Test">
    <Tk:Frame name="menuframe">
      <Tk:Menubutton name="filebutton" text="File" underline="0">
        <Tk:Menu name="filemenu" tearoff="false">
          <Tk:_add _1="command" label="Open" underline="0" accel="Ctrl+O" command="openDocument" />
          <Tk:_add _1="command" label="Exit" underline="0" accel="Ctrl+Q" command="exitApplication" />
        </Tk:Menu>
        <Tk:_pack side="left" />
      </Tk:Menubutton>
      <Tk:_pack side="left" />
    </Tk:Frame>
    <Tk:_bind _1="Control-o" _2="openDocument" />
    <Tk:_bind _1="Control-q" _2="exitApplication" />
  </Tk:Root>

To use the library:

  require 'tkxml'

  tkxml = TkXML.new(File.read('example.xml'))
  tkxml.build


== STATUS

At this point, TkXML is little more than an interesting experiment in encoding 
GUIs via markup. But it may well have the potential of becoming a productive
tool if someone were inclined to further it's development.


== HISTORY

An interesting side note. TkXML is the oldest bit of redistributed Ruby code
your humble author had ever writ.
