Step 1 in creating profiles. Dive right in, XML is damn near as close to English as you can get for a language. It works similar to HTML but with custom tags established by HB. You should first know a little bit about coding, then look at other peoples code to see WORKING CODE that you can observe. Don't know what it does? Well if the profile is 100% correct then it'll show you and you can learn.
The other step is, use the wiki. I would link you but they seem to have moved the quick link for me and I don't have it bookmarked on this pc.
