TkXML

Here is an example of a very simple TkXML document:

<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"
          command="openDocument"
          underline="0"
          accel="Ctrl+O" />
        <Tk:_add
          _1="command"
          label="Exit"
          command="exitApplication"
          underline="0"
          accel="Ctrl+Q" />
      </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 run the Tk application, let us assume the above document has been read from file and stored in source. Then:

tkxml = TkXML.new(source)
tkxml.build

Notice we have not created any methods for the commands. This is something that still needs to be done.
