+This example shows how to map a user-defined XML Schema type to a custom
+C++ class. It presents the simple case where the customized type is not
+used as a base in the same schema. For the complex case see the taxonomy
+example. For more information on the C++/Tree mapping customization see
+the C++/Tree Mapping Customization Guide[1].
+
+[1] http://wiki.codesynthesis.com/Tree/Customization_guide
+
+The example consists of the following files:
+
+contacts.xsd
+  XML Schema definition for a simple contacts database.
+
+contacts.xml
+  Sample XML instance document.
+
+contacts.hxx
+contacts.ixx
+contacts.cxx
+  C++ types that represent the given vocabulary and a set of parsing
+  functions that convert XML instance documents to a tree-like in-memory
+  object model.
+
+  These files are generated by the XSD compiler from contacts.xsd using the
+  following command line:
+
+  xsd cxx-tree --custom-type contact=/contact_base \
+      --hxx-epilogue '#include "contacts-custom.hxx"' contacts.xsd
+
+  The --custom-type option is used to customize the contact type.
+
+contacts-custom.hxx
+  Header file which defines our own contact class by inheriting from the
+  generated contact_base. It is included at the end of contacts.hxx using
+  the --hxx-epilogue option.
+
+contacts-custom.cxx
+  Source file which contains the implementation of our contact class.
+
+driver.cxx
+  Driver for the example. It first calls one of the parsing functions
+  that constructs the object model from the input file. It then prints
+  the contacts to STDERR.
+
+To compile and link the example manually from the command line we can use
+the following commands (replace 'c++' with your C++ compiler name):
+
+c++ -c contacts.cxx
+c++ -c contacts-custom.cxx
+c++ -c driver.cxx
+c++ -o driver driver.o contacts.o contacts-custom.o -lxerces-c
+
+To run the example on the sample XML instance document execute:
+
+./driver contacts.xml
