Set up your document like that:

<?php 

$content = new IDML\Content();

The most objects need to be registered in the content class. This looks like that:

<?php

$content
    ->addParagraphStyle($myParagraphStyle)
    ->addCharacterStyle($myCharacterStyle)
    ->addColor($myColor)
;

When your document is ready and every piece of content has been created, create a new writer object and give it your content:

<?php

$writer = new IDML\Writer($content, new Tree());

This will create your content with absolute paths, absolute numbers and all the things you defined before.

You can create an IDML out of that now:

<?php

$writer->create('mypath/myfile.idml');
