The xml document requires the following structure. First you need to create the container node for the items.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menulist>
HERE GOES THE CODE FOR THE MENUITEMS
</menulist>

Where you see the red text indicating where the menuitems go you need to insert the following code for MAIN items;

<menuitem main="true">
<itemname>TEXT OF MENU ITEM</itemname>
<link>link name</link>
</menuitem>

And for SUB items the following code;

<menuitem>
<itemname>TEXT OF MENU ITEM</itemname>
<link>link name</link>
</menuitem>

Basically the only difference between them is the main="true"in the node.

You can override certain features of a menu item. The included .xml file has the following example code with override options in red and bold;

<menuitem main="true" flag="new" fontcolor="0x00FF00" fontcolormouseover="0xFF00FF" fontXoffset="20" fontYoffset="2" itemicon="icon_star" loadXpos="100" loadYpos="100">

Furthermore, for manual textfield you can override fontscale="1.3" and for automated textfields you can override fonttype="Arial", fontsize="24" and fontembed="false", see more info in Readme.htm
