There are some files you can run or look at just to get started:

   README.DIR           This document.
   README               Basic information about REXML.
   bin/                 Several scripts for testing, installing, and
                        repackaging REXML.  See bin/README.  The short
                        of the long is that you run the scripts in bin/
                        from the main directory... EG: "ruby bin/install.rb"
   documentation.xml    The base REXML documentation.
   index.html           documentation.xml converted to HTML
   tutorial.html        docs/tutorial.xml converted to HTML
   LICENSE.txt          The REXML license
   GPL.txt              The GPL, a fallback license
   docs/                Documentation sources, and other development docs
   doc/                 API documentation
   api/                 The directory containing the API documentation
                        (in the works).
   rexml/               The REXML package (IE, the sources)
   benchmark/           Contains the benchmarking programs.  
                        See benchmark/README.
   contrib/             User contributions
   img/                 Images
   test/                Files used by the test suite


Any other files are purely detria.  Specifically, sometimes a test.rb file
makes its way into the repository; you can ignore these files.

All of the files in this project but two were written in vim, with the following
tab settings:

        set ts=2 sw=2

These are the standard Ruby tabstops.  The XML documents (the documentation and
tutorial) are maintained using XXE (www.xmlmind.com).

Please see the documentation for more information.
